I hate when it comes to explaining but I gave it my best!

(4^2)^4 is the same as (4^4)^2 because they’re both being squared and multiplied by the a number equaling to the same number, but written differently.

4^2=16 , whereas 4^4=256
HOWEVER
16^4=65536 and 246^2=65536.

Therefore both equal to the same number. It depends on the exponents, and multiplication. If it were to be a different exponent, then they wouldn’t have been the same

What is the measure of b if a=20 and c=29. using the pythagorean theorem

kicyunya [14]

Since a^2+b^2=c^2 becomes 20^2+b^2=29^2, we solve for b:

400+b^2=841

b^2=441

b=21

So the length of b is 21 units.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle (a triangle that has a ninety degree angle in it) the the square of the side opposite the right angle is always equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Therefore, we can use the information we are given to figure out the missing side:

$15^2=225\\9^2=81\\225-81=144\\\sqrt[2]{144}=12$
