The answer would be the second option, 13.0 cm.
To find the missing length of the leg, you would use the pythagorean theorem and substitute your inputs in.
a^2+b^2=c^2
11^2+b^2=17^2
121+b^2=289
b^2=168
b=12.96
b=13.0 cm (rounded up)
Complete Question
Sophie pays m dollars to rent a car for the weekend. On the drive home, she buys $45 worth of gasoline. Her friend Melody pays for one-half the cost of the car rental only. Write an expression you could use to determine how much Sophie spent.
Answer:
1/2m + 45
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told in the question that:
On the drive home, she buys $45 worth of gasoline.
Her friend Melody pays for one-half the cost of the car rental only.
Sophie pays m dollars to rent a car for the weekend.
The amount sophie pays for car rental = m - 1/2m
= 1/2m
Therefore, the expression used to determine how much sophie spent is written as:
1/2 × $m + $45
1/2m + 45
