Answer:

7.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem:

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\7^2+2^2=c^2\\49+4=c^2\\53=c^2\\\sqrt{53}=c\\7.28\approx c$

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is about 7.3 inches

Answer:

c = 7.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find 'c' using Pythagoras theorem.

=> c² = 2² + 7²
=> c² = 4 + 49
=> 53 = c²
=> c = √53
=> c = 7.28 = 7.3

The number of candies consumed varies inversely with the number of children present. When 12 children are present,140 pieces of

irinina [24]

Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).

Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.

Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).

"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.

xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k

Now, when x = 8 children,

8y = 1680
y = 210
