Because this is a triangle and we know that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse we just plug in the numbers. But because you have the hypotenuse already you will subtract the leg from the hypotenuse.
A^2+B^2=C^
16^2+B^2=20^2
256+B^2=400 subtract 256 from both sides
B^2=144 now take the square root of both sides
B=12
The second leg is 12 cm long. Your answer is B, the second answer.

Answer:
the answer is a quadratic
Step-by-step explanation:
A second degree polynomial is also called a "quadratic." Examples are 4x2, x2 - 9, or 6x2 + 13x + c. Just for fun, a third degree polynomial is called a "cubic", a fourth degree is called a "quartic", and a fifth degree polynomial is called a "quintic.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
We could use the distance formula to find the distance between the points in this problem, but when we look we see that the sides of the rectangle are parallel to the x and y-axis for each pair of sides. The first two points have a distance of 3 because 4-1=3. Since it is a rectangle, the opposite side will have the same length. For the sides perpendicular, we look at the points with the same x coordinate. Using (4,2) and (4,-3), we can calculate the length of the side by finding the distance by adding the absolute values of the y coordinate. 2+3=5. This means that the triangle has two sides with a length of 5 and two sides with a length of 3. Adding these together, 5+5+3+3 = 16.
