16. what are the values of a and b?

  a = 20; b = 2√101

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle at upper left and the one at lower right are similar. Ratios of corresponding sides are equal, so ...

  200/a = a/2

  400 = a^2

  √400 = 20 = a

Then, by the Pythagorean theorem, the value of b can be found:

  b = √(a^2 + 2^2) = √(400 +4) = √4·√101

  b = 2√101

hope it

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
