Answer:
The answer is 3) 40.
Step-by-step explanation:
since you're working with the Pythagorean theorem, you should know that a^2+b^2=c^2, therefore, we know that we only have two sides. we have a and c. we know that a = 42 and c = 58, giving us the equation of 42^2+b^2=58^2,
we want to find b!
so we would simply subtract the two.
58^2 - 42^2 = b
b = 1600
now we want to square root,
b = sqrt1600
which in the end, gives us the answer of 40.
Answer:
36 boards
Step-by-step explanation:
The boards are as long as the room, so I only had to worry about the width. If the boards were 1/2 ft wide, I would need 2 boards for every foot of width. For 16 ft, I would need 32 boards.
Instead of dividing, I wrote the equivalent multiplication by multiplying by the reciprocal of 11/24 (the reciprocal of 11/24 is 24/11)
I simplified by dividing both 2 and 24 by 2, and both 11 and 33 by 11.
Therefore he needs 36 boards
Answer:
The answer is in the above attachment.
(6, 2 )
substitute x = 5 into the equation and solve for y
6y + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
6y = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y = 
= 2
the ordered pair is (5, 2 )
