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 dollar value v (t) of a certain car model that is t years old is given by the following exponential function.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

$ 3820

Step-by-step explanation:

When the car is new, it is 0 year old. It means, t = 0

Initial value = 26,000 (0.84)^0 = 26,000(1)

Initial value = $ 26000

Similarly, when car is 11 year old, t = 11

=> 26000(0.84)¹¹ = 26000(0.14691)

≈ $ 3819.842

≈ $ 3820 (round to near ten)

Deepak wrote out the steps to his solution of the equation StartFraction 5 Over 2 minus 3 x minus 5 plus 4 x equals negative Sta

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Step 1 is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

$\dfrac{5}{2}-3x-5+4x=\dfrac{-7}{4}$

In step 1, Deepak rearranged the terms in order to simplify like terms together that is followed in step 2.

o, rearranging of the terms of an expression is commutative property and not distributive property. The distributive property is generally applicable to multiplication and is given as:

$x(y+z)=xy+yz$

The commutative property is given as:

x+y = y +a

Therefore, adding terms by changing their order is commutative property of addition and not distributive property. Step 1 instruction is wrong.
