I assume you're asking to convert 114₅ to base 10. We have
114₅ = 1•5² + 1•5¹ + 4•5⁰
114₅ = 25 + 5 + 4
114₅ = 34
Answer:
Two possible lengths for the legs A and B are:
B = 1cm
A = 14.97cm
Or:
B = 9cm
A = 12cm
Step-by-step explanation:
For a triangle rectangle, Pythagorean's theorem says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse squared.
Then if the two legs of the triangle are A and B, and the hypotenuse is H, we have:
A^2 + B^2 = H^2
If we know that H = 15cm, then:
A^2 + B^2 = (15cm)^2
Now, let's isolate one of the legs:
A = √( (15cm)^2 - B^2)
Now we can just input different values of B there, and then solve the value for the other leg.
Then if we have:
B = 1cm
A = √( (15cm)^2 - (1cm)^2) = 14.97
Then we could have:
B = 1cm
A = 14.97cm
Now let's try with another value of B:
if B = 9cm, then:
A = √( (15cm)^2 - (9cm)^2) = 12 cm
Then we could have:
B = 9cm
A = 12cm
So we just found two possible lengths for the two legs of the triangle.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When we take an average of something, we have to add up all the data on the somethings and then divide by the number of somethings we have. Ed takes 5 tests, and we have scores for them; we also have his current average. What we don't know for sure are 2 of the 5 test scores, but we have enough to determine what they are.
If one test has a score of x, and the other test is 3 points less than that, the score on that last test is x - 3. Putting all of that together into an average problem:
and simplfiying a bit:
. Multiply both sides by 5 to get
256 + 2x = 450; subtract 256 from both sides to get
2x = 194 and divide by 2:
x = 97
The one test score was a 97 and the other one, which was 3 less than that, was a 94.
