Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First use the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2.

12^2+b^2=20^2. Solve the exponents: 144+b^2=400. Then, subtract the 144 from 400. That would be 256. Therefore b^2=256. Then you find the square root of 256=16.

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythogoras theory

hyp^2=opp^2+adj^2

you have been given the hyp and the opp so lets make the unknown x

20^2=12^2+x^2

400 =144+x^2

make x the subject of the formula

400-144=x^2

266=x^2

x=the square root of 266

Answer: 1 -2ax²+2x-ax

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a rectangle: length x width

Replacing with the values given:

A = (2x+1) (1-ax)

A = [2x(1)] + [2x(-ax)] +[ 1(1)]+ [1 (-ax)]

A = 2x- 2ax² +1- ax

A = 1 -2ax²+2x-ax

In conclusion, the correct option is 1 -2ax²+2x-ax

BaLLatris [955]

Answer: In the figure AB is about 8.4 inches and AC is about 13.05 inches.

Step-by-step explanation: We can use cosine to find the hypotenuse. $cos(40)=\frac{10}{x} \\cos(40) (x)=\frac{10}{x}(x)\\cos(40) (x) =10\\\frac{cos(40) (x)}{cos (40)} =\frac{10}{cos (40)} \\x=\frac{10}{cos(40)}$
