Does the commutative property work for subtraction and division? no yes

Jayden and Sheridan both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. One leg is labeled as

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Sheridan's Work is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lengths side of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

where

a and b are the legs

c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

In this problem

Let

$a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm$

substitute

$13^{2}=7^{2}+b^{2}$

Solve for b

$169=49+b^{2}$

$b^{2}=169-49$

$b^{2}=120$

$b=\sqrt{120}\ cm$

$b=10.95\ cm$

we have that

Jayden's Work

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

$a=7\ cm\\b=13\ cm$

substitute and solve for c

$7^{2}+13^{2}=c^{2}$

$49+169=c^{2}$

$218=c^{2}$

$c=\sqrt{218}\ cm$

$c=14.76\ cm$

Jayden's Work is incorrect, because the missing side is not the hypotenuse of the right triangle

Sheridan's Work

$a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

$a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm$

substitute

$7^{2}+b^{2}=13^{2}$

Solve for b

$49+b^{2}=169$

$b^{2}=169-49$

$b^{2}=120$

$b=\sqrt{120}\ cm$

$b=10.95\ cm$

therefore

Sheridan's Work is correct

Use quadratic formula solve .7x^2 - 28x - 7

beks73 [17]

Answer:

x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x = 2 - sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation using the quadratic formula:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

7 (x^2 - 4 x - 1) = 0

Divide both sides by 7:

x^2 - 4 x - 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x^2 - 4 x = 1

Add 4 to both sides:

x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 5

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 2)^2 = 5

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 2 = sqrt(5) or x - 2 = -sqrt(5)

Add 2 to both sides:

x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x - 2 = -sqrt(5)

Add 2 to both sides:

Answer: x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x = 2 - sqrt(5)

Which of the following is most likely the next step in the series

natima [27]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In the pattern, there are some similarities with the first three circles.

1. The number is on the blue half.

2. The halves switch spots, red-blue, blue-red, red-blue.

So, the next one should have the number on the blue half and the next pattern should be red-blue, blue-red, red-blue, and blue-red.

Which one has both the number on the blue half and the pattern blue-red?

C

Hoped this helped.
