Use the Pythagorean theorem to find each missing length to the nearest tenth

c (the hypotenuse) = 10.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off by rearranging the original pythangorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) by taking the square root of both sides so it is in the form of a distance formula solving for c(the hypotenuse).

c^2 will become |c| as length cannot be negative so (labeling an absolute value is negligible)

a^2+b^2 = c^2

c^2 = a^2+b^2

√(c^2) = √(a^2+b^2)

c = √(a^2+b^2)

Then substitute the given lengths, in this scenario, sides a and b.

After you substitute, just simplify.

c = √(3^2+10^2) = √(9+100) = √109 ≈ 10.4 units (nearest tenth)

answer: can and shows the work

step-by-step explanation:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
