If e = 9 cm and f = 40 cm, what is the length of g?

(9,40,41) is a Pythagorean Triple, farther down the list than teachers usually venture.

Answer: D. 41 cm

There's a subset of Pythagorean Triples where the long leg is one less than the hypotenuse,

a^2+b^2 = (b+1)^2

a^2 + b^2 = b^2 + 2b +1

a^2=2b+1

So we get one for every odd number, since the square of an odd number is odd and the square of an even number is even.

b = (a^2 - 1)/2

a=3, b=(3^2-1)/2=4, c=b+1=5

a=5, b=(5^2-1)/2 =12, c = 13

a=7, b=24, c=25

a=9, b=40, c=41

a=11, b=60, c=61

a=13, b=84, c=85

It's good to be able to recognize Pythagorean Triples when we see them.

Otherwise we'd have to work the calculator:

√(9² + 40²) = √1681 = 41

Advocard [28]

If 1 inch represents 0.5 centimeter, then 28 inches will represent 28 * 0.5 = 14 centimeters and 15 inches will represent 15 * 0.5 = 7.5 centimeters.

The actual dimensions of the phone is: the length is 14 centimeters and the width is 7.5 centimeters.

Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

<u>A. When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

<u>B. If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of packages Rita started = x

Number of saplings per package = 5

Number of saplings planted by Rita = 15

Number of saplings left = 20

2. How many packages of saplings did she start with?

Number of packages Rita started = (Number of saplings planted by Rita + Number of saplings left)/Number of saplings per package

Replacing with the real values:

x = (15 + 20)/5

x = 35/5 = 7

<u>When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

3. What would the solution look like on a number line graph?

If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.
