Answer: x = 7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem , since it is a right angled triangle ,

side 1 = 10cm

side 2 = x cm

side 3 = x cm

Pythagoras theorem  states that the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides. That is

10^{2}=x^{2}  +x^{2}

100 = 2x^{2}

divide through by 2 , we have

50 = x^{2}

find the square root of both sides

x = \sqrt{50}

x = 7.07

Compare and contrast expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions with simplifying numeric expressions. For example, compare
larisa [96]
<span>With algebraic expressions, you can’t add and subtract any terms like you can add and subtract numbers. Terms must be like terms in order to combine them. So, you can’t always simplify an algebraic expression by following the order of operations. You have to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression and then combine like terms to simplify. With numeric expressions, you can either simplify inside the parentheses first or use the distributive property first.</span>

A 4/7 inch pipe is to be shortened to 3/8 inch. How much must be removed?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

11/56 inches or 0.196 inches must be removed.

The pipe measures 4/7 inches but needs to be reduced to 3/8 inches.

In order to find out the inches to be removed, you must subtract the length that the pipe should be from the length that it currently is.

<em>Length to be removed = 4/7 - 3/8</em>

You need a common denominator so find the lowest common factor of both denominators:

= 56

In the shared fraction, multiply the numerator by the number you get when you divide 56 by the denominator.

= 56/7 = 8                                      8 x 4 = 32

= 56 / 8 = 7                                    7 x 3 = 21

= (32 - 21) / 56

= 11 / 56 inches

= 0.196 inches

In conclusion, 11/56 inches must be removed to get the pipe to 3/8 inches

The means and mean absolute deviations of the amount of rain that fell each day in a local city, last week and this week, are sh
Dennis_Churaev [7]
The difference in the mean rainfall is given by 19.7 - 19.3 = 0.5

The difference in the <span>mean rainfall is approximately 0.5/4.6 = 0.087 = 8.7 percent of the mean absolute deviation for last week and is 0.5/5.2 = 0.077 = 7.7 percent of the mean absolute deviation for this week.

Therefore, the difference in the </span><span>mean rainfall is approximately what percent of the mean absolute deviation 8% of the mean absolute deviation of the data sets.</span>

The perimeter of the norwegian flag is 190 inches. What are the dimensions of the flag?
mario62 [17]
<span>The dimensions are 40 inches by 55 inches.

Explanation<span>:
We know that perimeter is the sum of all of the sides. Since this is rectangular, opposite sides are equal. This gives us
y+11/8y+y+11/8y=190.

Combining like terms, we have
2y+22/8y=190.

Writing 22/8 as a mixed number, we have
2y+2 3/4y=190
4 3/4y=190.

Divide both sides by 4 3/4:
(4 3/4y)</span></span>÷<span><span>(4 3/4)=190</span></span>÷<span><span>(4 3/4)
y=190</span></span>÷<span><span>(4 3/4).

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
y=190</span></span>÷<span><span>(19/4).

To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:
 y=190*(4/19)=760/19=40.

Since y=40, 11/8y=11/8(40)=440/8=55.</span></span>
