PLEASE HELP! Suppose the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 24 cm and one of the legs is 11 cm. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the measure of the triangle’s other leg. Round the measure to the nearest tenth if needed.

The other leg is about 21.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c²

11²+b²=24²

121+b²=576

Subtract 121 from both sides

b²=455

b=

b≈21.3

21.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Theorem is an equation that can only be applied to right triangles. It states that for a right triangle with legs (two shorter sides) a and b and hypotenuse (longest side) c:

a² + b² = c²

Here, we know the hypotenuse is 24 cm and that one of the legs is 11 cm. We can hence say that c = 24 and a = 11 (or b = 11, but it doesn't really matter). Plug these values into the equation to find the other leg length:

a² + b² = c²

11² + b² = 24²

121 + b² = 576

b² = 576 - 121 = 455

b = √(455) ≈ 21.3 cm

Thus, the answer is 21.3 cm.

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
