What is the value of s

Mathematics
1 answer:
grandymaker [24]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, based on the Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(it's very important that the ∠ABD angle is 90 degrees)

8^2 + 15^2 = s          and           5^2 + 15^2 = CD (but the original question doesn't want the value of CD, so we just need to solve for s)

64 + 225 = 289   now remember, 289 is s^2, and we only want the value of s, so we have to find its square root: √289 = 17

Hope it helped!

Prove that if m + n and n + p are even integers, where m, n, and p are integers, then m + p is even. what kind of proof did you
scoray [572]
Prove that if m + n and n + p are even integers, where m, n, and p are integers, then m + p is even.
m=2k-n, p=2l-n

Let m+n and n+p be even integers, thus m+n=2k and n+p=2l by definition of even
m+p= 2k-n + 2l-n substitution
= 2k+2l-2n
=2 (k+l-n)
=2x, where x=k+l-n ∈Z (integers)
Hence, m+p is even by direct proof.
