Answer 2

@thomaster

Answer 3

you would use pythagorean theorem here
a^2+b^2=c^2 so
27^2+23^2=c^2
729+529=c^2
c^2=1258
c=sqrt(1258)
c is about 36

Answer 4

THANKS SO MUCH!! i've been on this test for 2 hours already

Answer 5

also one more.

Answer 6

The description of a TV is based upon a diagonal length. If the height of a TV is 24 inches and the width is 32 inches, what is the TV's diagonal length?
3
4
21
40

Answer 7

again pythagorean theorem since you can make a right traingle from a rectangle
24^2+32^2=c^2
576+1024=c^2
c^2=1600
c=sqrt(1600)
c=40

Answer 8

you actually didnt have to do math

Answer 9

Really? it's just this confuses me so much it's unbelievable. I"m better at history and language arts :p

Answer 10

the diagonal length will always be longer than the other sides therefore the only pausible answer from that selection is 40 anyway

Answer 11

c is always greater than b and a

Answer 12

lol thanks so much :)
