Answer: Pythagorean Theorem in 3 D

sqrt ( 3^2 + 4^2 + 2^2) =

sqrt ( 9 + 16 + 4) =

sqrt( 29) = 5.3852 approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest diagonal is about 8.9 inches. The longest length is going to be between the two longest lengths, the width and the height. The Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Plug the width and height into a and b of the Pythagorean equation. (4)^2 + (8)^2 = c^2. Now simplify the equation. 16 + 64 = c^2. 80 = c^2. Now find the square root of each side. (sqrt)80 = (sqrt)c^2. If you simplify this, you will find that c is equal to about 8.9 inches.

The speedometer in Kevin's car reads in both miles/hour and kilometers/hour. What information is needed to convert between these

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

a) the number of miles in 1 kilometer

Step-by-step explanation:

The car converts from miles/hour to kilometers/hour, if we see the time measurement (hours) it stays the same in both units.

So to make the conversion<u> it is enough to know how many miles are in one kilometer.</u>

For example, lets convert 10miles/hour to kilometers/hour.

there are 0.621371 miles in 1 kilometer, so if we divide 10miles/hour by 0.621371 we get kilometers/hour units:

$\frac{10miles}{hour} (\frac{1kilometer}{0.621371miles} )=16.0934\frac{kilometers}{hour}$

Thus to make the conversion between the two units is needed the number of miles in 1 kilometer.

Casandra is training for 10 mile race. On the first day of training she runs 4 miles, each day after that she adds on 0.5 mile.

Naddik [55]

On day no 9, because to increase her mileage by 4 to reach 8 it will take her 4/0.5=8 days plus day 1 where she ran just 4 miles.
