Answer:

x = 8√5

Step-by-step explanation:

for right triangle

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

with c is the hypotenuse; a & b are the other sides

(4 + 16)^2 = (4√5)^2 + x^2

400 = 80 + x^2

x^2 = 320

x^2 = 64(5)

√x^2 = √64(√5)

x = 8√5

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

approximately 6.708 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the problem, using 3 feet and 6 feet as the legs of a right angle triangle. The diagonal of the screen is therefore the "hypotenuse" of this right angle triangle, and can be determined via the formula:

$diagonal = \sqrt{(3\,ft)^2+(6\,ft)^2} \\diagonal = \sqrt{9\,ft^2+36\,ft^2} \\diagonal = \sqrt{45} \,ft\\diagonal = 3\,\sqrt{5} \,ft$

which is approximately 6.708 feet

Someone please help. It is easy

Alright. So we have 2 eggs at 2.49 each. That is $4.98. We have .25 pounds cheese priced at $13.40 per pound. 13.40 x .25 = $3.35. Then we have juice at $5.49. If we add those up we get: 4.98+3.35+5.49=$13.82. Then we get $0.75 in change, so if we add $13.82 and 0.75 we get: $14.57

The answer is $14.57.
