It takes William 14 minutes to run two laps around the lake. How many laps can William complete in 56 minutes

8 laps

Step-by-step explanation:

this is pretty simple you just take the total time (56min) and then you take how long it takes William to run two laps around the lake (14min). then you try and figure out how many minutes it takes william to run one lap around the lake so you take 14 and divide it by 2 and that gives you 7.

therefore you take 56 and divide it by 7 and that gives you the answer of 8 laps william can run in a total of 56 min.

length of the other leg = 16

step-by-step explanation:

one leg of a right triangle is 12, and the hypotenuse is 20.

to find the length of the other leg we use pythagorean theorem

'c' is the hypotenuse , 'a' and 'b' are the two legs

c= 20 and a= 12

subtract 144 from both sides

take square root on both sides

b= 16

length of the other leg = 16
