Answer:

16

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

The slope of a line is -4 and it’s y-intercept is (0,4) what is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line
Rasek [7]

Original line equation: y=-4x+4

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocals, so the slope of the perpendicular line would be 1/4x.

Perpendicular line equation: y=1/4x+b

Plug in the coordinates that the line passes through to solve for b. Plug -8 in for x and 2 in for y.

2=1/4(-8)+b

Multiply.

2=-2+b

Add 2 to both sides.

4=b

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=1/4x+4

Hope this helps! :)

Does 2, square root of 2, and square root of 2 make a right triangle
garik1379 [7]
Yes it does because in order to find out if a triangle is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem.
sqrr 2 squared + sqrr 2 squared= 2 squared
simplify this:
2+2=4
because the equation is correct, this can make a right triangle

For what value of x will 55 and x have the mean (average) as 67
AlekseyPX
