Answer:

hypotenuse = 17.46

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2.

Since we are finding the hypotenuse, we must plug in 16 and 7 since they represent the lengths of both side.

16^2+7^2=c^2

256+49=c^2

305=c^2

which means we have to find the square root of c^2 AND 305, round it to the nearest hundredth, which means that;

c=17.46

Tammy scored 88, 72, 44 points on her first three test. What must she score in her last test to get at least an average of 70?

lara [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(88+72+44+x)/4=70

88+72+44+x=280

204+x=280

x=76

Therefore, Tammy needs to score a 76 on her last test to get at least an average of 70.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\sqrt{3}$

Explanation:

You are comparing irrational numbers.

By inspection, i.e. at first sight you can only compare $\sqrt{3} \text{ }and\text{ } 2\sqrt{3}$ because they have the same radicand.

You can order: $\sqrt{3}$

You can introduce the 2 inside the radical by squaring it:

$2\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{2^2\times3}=\sqrt{12}$

Since 5 is between 3 and 12, you can order:

$\sqrt{3}$

Which is:

$\sqrt{3}$

You must know that π ≈ 3.14.

5 is less than 9 and the square root of 9 is 3; hence, $\sqrt{5}$ and $\sqrt{5}$

Now you must determine whether π is less than or greater than $\sqrt{12}$

Using a calculator or probing numbers between 3 and 4 you get $\sqrt{12} \approx3.46$

Hence, the complete order is:

$\sqrt{3}$
