Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with
it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.
a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1
we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1
(we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1)
-1²=1
-1³=-1
1⁴= 1
since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two
1-(-1) = 1+1 = 2
The answer should be D: 2
hoped this helped at all!
Answer:
45 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying the pythagoras theorem:
Base of the bigger triangle = 
= 
= 12 units
Area of a triangle is given by 
× base × height
The area of the bigger triangle is × 12 × 9 = 54 square units.
The area of the smallest triangle is × (12 - 10) × 9 = 9 square units.
The area of the figure( required triangle) is 54 - 9 = 45 square units.
Answer:
36 millimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
From Pythagoras theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the two other legs
In mathematical terms;
a^2 = b^2 + c^2
Let a represent the hypotenuse = 39 mm and the length of one leg, say c, is 15 mm
Slotting in the values of a and b
39^2 = b^2 + 15^2
1521 = b^2 + 225
collect like terms
1521 - 225 = b^2
1296 = b^2
Take the square root of both sides
36 = b
Therefore b = 36 mm
