Answer:

7.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} with c being the hypotenuse and a and b being the legs.

So we are solving for a leg so let's rearrange the equation to solve for a or b, it doesn't matter, I'm going to solve for a.

so subtract b^{2} from both sides then take the square root of both sides leaving us with a=\sqrt{c^{2} -b^{2} }

Then plug in know variables so a=\sqrt{8^{2} -3^{2} } =\sqrt{64-9} =\sqrt{55} =7.41619848

Then round to get 7.4

<u>Answer:</u>

  • a = 7.4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>We can find 'a' through Pythagoras theorem.</u>

  • => 8² = 3² + a²
  • => 64 = 9 + a²
  • => a² = 55
  • => a = √55
  • => a = 7.416 = 7.4

Hoped this helped.

Column A
Viefleur [7K]
The slope m of a line passing through points P(a, b) and Q(c, d) is found using the formula:

                     m= \frac{b-d}{a-c}.

Thus, the slope in A is m= \frac{12-2}{-4-(-10)}=\frac{10}{6}=\frac{5}{3}.

The slope in B is m= \frac{-4-10}{6-18}=\frac{-14}{-12}=\frac{7}{6}.

Now, to compare 7/6  to 5/3, we can write the second fraction as 10/6.


So, the slope in A is larger than the slope in B.
