(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
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
two events need to happen: tutti frutti needs to be shown by first spinner and second spinner needs to show dish
probability of tutti frutti = 1/3
probability of dish = 1/2
probability of both events = 1/3 * 1 /2 = 1/6
Answer:
<u>The original three-digit number is 417</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find out the solution to this problem, this way:
x = the two digits that are not 7
Original number = 10x+7
The value of the shifted number = 700 + x
Difference between the shifted number and the original number = 324
Therefore, we have:
324 = (700 + x) - (10x + 7)
324 = 700 + x - 10x - 7
9x = 693 - 324 (Like terms)
9x = 369
x = 369/9
x = 41
<u>The original three-digit number is 417</u>
Start with $30.25.
Subtract $14.00 to isolate the amount of money spent on admission.
30.25-14.00= 16.25. As a group $16.25 was spent on admission.
Admission is 3.25 per person. Divide 16.25 by 3.25.
16.25/3.25=5.
5 friends went ice skating.
