Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

a=hyp=15

b=base=12

x=perp=?

using pathagorus theorem:

{hyp}^{2}  =  {base}^{2}  +  {perp}^{ 2}  \\  {15}^{2}  =  {12}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  \\ 225 = 144 + x \\ 225 - 144 =  {x}^{2}  \\ 81 =  {x}^{2}  \\ x = 9

How do you write 3.625 as a fraction
vesna_86 [32]
3.625 as a fraction would be 3 5/8 or 29/8.
You would get that by converting 3.625 to 3 625/1000. You do that because there is a 3 before the decimal- (that is a whole #) and three digits after the decimal (that means it goes into the thousandths place, so the denominator is 1000), Then you take the numbers after the decimal and place it over the 1000. Then you would simply the 3 625/1000 by 125. and get 3 5/8 or as a mixed # 29/8. (Multiply the 8 and 3 to get 24 and add the numerator (5) to get 29. The denominator stays the same.

Hope this helps!
