Answer:

  25√2 ≈ 35.36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the leg length for the given conditions. It tells you the relation between legs a, b, and hypotenuse c is ...

  c² = a² +b²

If a=b, and c=50, this becomes ...

  50² = a² +a²

  1250 = a² . . . . divide by 2

  25√2 = a . . . . take the square root

The length of each leg is 25√2 ≈ 35.36 inches.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

  32

Step-by-step explanation:

The number that take algebra i includes those who take both subjects, as does the number taking algebra ii. Then the number taking algebra i alone is ...

   18 -10 = 8 . . . . . take only algebra i

So the number taking any kind of algebra is ...

  20 + 8 = 28

and the number not taking either subject is ...

  60 -28 = 32 . . . not taking either subject

Translate this phrase into an algebraic expression. 73 less than twice Jose's height Use the variable to represent Jose's height
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

x-73

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=Jose's height.  If it says "less than," then that is subtraction.  Since Jose's height is not defined, there is no specific number that can be used to describe "73 less than twice Jose's height," so I use the variable x, and then subtract 73.
