To find the hypotenuse the formula would be:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

BUT! These two questions ask for the length of the smaller sides, so we need to rearrange the formula to:

a^2 = c^2 - b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse, and b is the other known length. Use this formula to solve the length of the unknown side. 

Let's call the unknown side x,

1) a^2 = c^2 - b^2
    x^2 = 17^2 - 15^2
    x^2 = 64
    Square root both sides to get x
    x = 8

2) a^2 = c^2 - b^2
    x^2 = 26^2 - 24^2
    x^2 = 100
    Square root both sides to get x
    x = 10

Hope this helped! Ask me if there's any part of the working you don't understand :)

A^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
a^2 + 225 = 289
a^2 = 289 - 225
a^2 = 64
sqrt of 64 = 8
a = 8
x = 8

Lourdes are 5/6 of a brownie. Zachary are 4/5 of a brownie of the same size. Who are more brownies?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Lourdes has more brownies.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find a common denominator. Whatever you do to the bottom of the fraction you do to the top. 5/6 and 4/5 has a common denominator of 30. Multiply both digits in 5/6 by 5. Then multiply both digits in 4/5 by 6. Then you can compare the fractions. With the common denominators, Lourdes should have 25/30 brownies and Zachary has 24/30. Compare.

24/30 < 25/30. So Lourdes has the most brownies!

Three cards are randomly selected from a standard 52-card deck, one at a time, with each card re- placed in the deck before the
hammer [34]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Three cards are randomly selected from a standard 52-card deck.

Number of heart cards in a deck = 13

Each card replaced in the deck before the next one is picked.

Probability of first card is heart = P_{1}=\frac{13}{52}

After replacement, the probability of second card is heart = P_{2}=\frac{13}{52}

after replacement, the probability of third card is heart =  P_{3}=\frac{13}{52}

P =  \frac{13}{52} ×  \frac{13}{52} ×  \frac{13}{52}

  =  \frac{39}{156}

  =  \frac{1}{4}

The probability of all three cards are hearts is  \frac{1}{4}
