The problem is using a right triangle, it means we can use the Pythagorean theorem in solving the problem. We have two possible measurements for the third side.
First length, when the third side is the hypotenuse:
x ² = 15² + 12²
x = 19.21
Second possible length, when the third leg is either an adjacent or base side:
15² = x² + 12²
x = 9
Therefore, the difference between the two possible answers are shown below:
Difference = 19.21 - 9 = 10.21
Answer:
1 2/3 + 1 1/2

Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
A full can of tuna has a certain amount in it, if a portion is removed from the can it is therefore subtracted from the total amount. This means that Joey's work is correct and the tuna can would have
5.5 oz - 2.88 oz = 2.62 oz
The best way to tell if his work is correct would be to weigh the remaining tuna in the can and see if it matches Joey's answer.
