Choose the correct way to read this number. 40.6 a.) forty and six hundredths b.) forty and six tenths c.) forty point six d.) four hundred six

The correct answer is C

You are supposed to say “point” opposed to “and” when reading a number with a decimal

Hope this helps

The relationship of the sides of a right triangle is described as
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where c is the hypotenuse and the legs are a and b

in this case
c = 20
and
b = 12

we plug this into the equation and get
a^2 + 12^2 = 20^2

this simplifies to
a^2 + 144 = 400

we can subtract 144 from both sides
a^2 = 256

then square root both sides
so
a = 16

therefore the length of the other leg is  16 centimeters
