Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ where a and b are the legs in a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse. Therefore, just substitute the values a = 10 and c = 26 into the equation to get b = 24

Hope this helps :)

How would you write 8^5 as a multiplication expression? A. 8 × 5 B. 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 C. 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5

$\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}$

if we ever face a number written in the form of $\underline{x^{n}}$ where x denotes the base and n denotes the exponent or power , we can expand it in the following way -

$x^{n} = x \times x \times x \times.... x ( upto\: " n " \: times )$

therefore ,

$8 {}^{5} = 8 \times 8 \times 8 \times 8 \times 8$

option ( B )

A line passes through the point (1,4) and is perpendicular to the line with equations y=-1/5x+2. what's the equation of the line

jekas [21]

To find the slope of the perpendicular line, you can take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular to.

Taking the negative reciprocal of -1/5 gives 5.

Now we have y=5x+b, where b is the y-intercept. Since we know that the perpendicular line passes through the point (1,4), we can substitute those values into the equation we have to find b.

y=5x+b

4=5(1)+b

4=5+b

b=-1

Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=5x-1.

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to begin by separating the shape into two distinct rectangles. The larger one has dimensions 15 cm * 8cm, while the smaller one has dimensions 7cm * 5cm. Adding these together, you get 15*8+7*5=155 square centimeters, or option C. Hope this helps!
