15.7 inches

The difference between the two possible  lengths of the third side of the triangle is:

                            3.2 inches

The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 5 inches and 8 inches.

This means that the third side could be the hypotenuse of the triangle or it could be a leg of a triangle with hypotenuse as: 8 inches.

Let the third side be denoted by c.

Then by using the Pythagorean Theorem we have:

Hence, the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side is:

which to the nearest tenth is: 3.2 inches

B) 3.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

did it on edge

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
