Answer: 20 cm
To solve this, use the Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs of the right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
**The Pythagorean Theorem only works for right triangles.**
Substitute in the values.
a² + b² = c²
12² + 16² = c²
Solve for c, the hypotenuse.
12² + 16² = c²
144 + 256 = c²
400 = c²
c = √400
c = 20
Nice use of brackets. We know exactly what you mean.
(10 - 7 + 2) / (-2 + 1) Notice that with an even number of - signs, you get a plus and with and odd number you get a minus.
(5) / (-1) = - 5 answer
Edit
Numerator
10 does not change.
+ - 7 Here a plus and a minus are put together. There is 1 minus sign which is an odd number of minus signs so the 7 is minus
- - 2 Here there are 2 minus signs. They become plus because 2 is even, and an even number of minuses become a plus so you have +2
10 - 7 + 2 = 5
Denominator
-2 does not change. It remains minus 2.
- - 1 There are 2 minus signs so this becomes plus 1.
- 2 + 1 = - 1
Numerator over denominator = 5/-1 = - 5. I'll probably run out of editing time. If you still don't understand, try and pinpoint the problem and we'll keep trying until you do see it. This question is worth it.
We don’t have any of the “images” to answer this question.
You would divide 228/12 = 19 per class.
If you cut the rectangle (the wall) diagonally, you get two congruent triangles. The measurements of the sides of one the triangles is 8, 15 and x. There is a pythagorean triples 8, 15, 17 so x has to be 17. if you dont know the triple you can do a^2 + b^2 = c^2 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2 c = 17
the diagonal of wall should be 17
