You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
Answer:
6 quarters and 9 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
6 quarters is equal to $1.50. 6 nickels is equal to $0.30. Those together equal $1.80, then add the three nickels bringing your total to $1.95.
Answer:
Number 9: 1.25 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In total Brian hiked 16 miles
In total Christine hiked 14.75
So, 16 - 14.75 = 1.25
Overall, Brian hiked 1.25 more miles than Christine.
Factored form is (4x+3)(2x+3)
