Step-by-step explanation:

always try to bring fractions you need to compare to the same denominator (bottom number).

we have 9/10 of the pizza left.

then 4/5 if the pizza are eaten.

how to compare 9/10 with 4/5 ?

by bringing 4/5 also to a fraction of 10ths.

what do I need to multiply 5 with to get 10 ?

right, 2.

since we don't want to change the overall value of the original fraction, we need to multiply both levels (numerator and denominator) by that same factor :

4/5 × 2/2 = 8/10

aha !

that we can compare with 9/10.

so, when Lucas ate 4/5 (= 8/10) of the pizza, when there was originally 9/10 left, then we have 1/10 of the pizza left.

The formula c = √a^2 + b^2 represents the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with side lengths a and b. Solve the equa

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

b = √(c^2 - a²)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the given c = √a^2 + b^2. Squaring both sides, we get:

c² = a² + b².

We want to iosolate b² and then b.

So: subtract a² from both sides, resulting in:

c² - a² = b²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

√b² = √(c² - a²)

and so:

b = √(c^2 - a²)

Solve for b

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

b= $\sqrt{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the given figure the sides 'b' , '2' and '5' are making the sides of a right angled triangle in the top right corner of the square, where

Hypotenuse=5 , Perpendicular=b and Base=2

Using Pythagoras Theorem:

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2\\$

Implementing the values in the formula:

$5^2= b^2+2^2$

$b^2=5^2-2^2\\\\b^2=25-4\\\\b^2=21\\\\b=\sqrt{21}$

So, the value of 'b' is $\sqrt{21}$ which is same for the the given 'b' in the figure.
