Answer:

The hypotenuse has a length of 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The first step is to create the 2 equations needed to solve this problem.

Then substitute one into the other.

Equations

c^2 + a^2 + b^2 = 72  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Solution

c^2 + a^2 + b^2 = 72             The sum of the sides each squared of a right triangle = 72

c^2 = a^2 + b^2                      The pythagorean theorem says the hypotenuse of the right triangle = the sum of the squares of two smaller sides. You can substitute the hypotenuse squared into the top equation for a^2 + b^2

c^2 + c^2 = 72

2c^2 = 72

c^2 = 36

c = 6.                      minus 6 is meaningless

A lawyer charges for her services based on the number of hours worked. The expression gives the total cost for h hours is 200h+2
zhannawk [14.2K]
H is the number of hours worked. So the expression 200h+250 is 200 times the number of hours plus 250.

Here's a few computations using different values for h

1 hour --> (200)(1)+250 = 450
2 hours --> (200)(2) + 250 = 650
3 hours --> (200)(3)+250 = 850
10 hours --> (200)(10)+250 = 2250

As you can see the 250 is fixed. It gets added to the cost no matter how many hours the lawyer works. This is most likely a flat fee. Just to meet the lawyer you pay $250.

The 200 gets multiplied by the hours worked. So the 200 is an hourly rate. The more hours the lawyer works, the more he gets paid because this part of the expression depends on the hours worked.

Thus, an interpretation of the expression 200h + 250 is that the lawyer charges a fee of $250 per consultation and an additional $200 per hour on top of that.

If the price of upholstery fabric is $12.49 per yard, how much will 16 yards cost?
Oliga [24]
16 yards will cost $199.84 assuming there is no tax. We know this because

12.49 X 16 = 199.84

Select the true statement. A. Neither function is even. B. Only function f is even. C. Only function g is even. D. Both function
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the even function will have both ends pointed in the same direction, while the graph of the odd function will have both ends pointed inside the reverse way. Furthermore, as the y-axis approaches, and also regular expression graph becomes symmetric. The graph of an unusual function, on either hand, is symmetric around the origin and also has rotational symmetry around the origin. They could see that the graph of function g meets a function requirement by looking at it. That graph of function f, but on the other hand, is not symmetric about its y-axis, implying that function f is not even. As both a result, g is a function that is even.
