<span>Jesse loves to make cookies. She makes chocolate chip cookies 4 out of every 5 times she makes cookies. If she makes cookies 55 times, how many times will she not make chocolate chip cookies?</span>
Check the picture below. So let's use those two points on the line.

bearing in mind that the standard form is also a general form.
standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient
Since they are right triangles use Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse.
a. 12^2 + b^2 = 13^2
144 + b^2 = 169
subtract 144 from both sides
b^2 = 25
take the square root of both sides
t = 5 This is also know as a Pythagorean Triple 5-12-13
b. a^2 + 9^2 = 12^2
a^2 + 81 = 144
subtract 81 from both sides
a^2 = 63
take the square root of both sides
a = √63
a = √(9 * 7)
a = 3√7
c. 6^2 + 9^2 = c^2
36 + 81 = c^2
117 = c^2
take the square root of each side
c = √117
c = √(9*13)
x = 3√13
Strange question, as normally we would not calculate the "area of the tire." A tire has a cross-sectional area, true, but we don't know the outside radius of the tire when it's mounted on the wheel.
We could certainly calculate the area of a circle with radius 8 inches; it's
A = πr^2, or (here) A = π (8 in)^2 = 64π in^2.
The circumference of the wheel (of radius 8 in) is C = 2π*r, or 16π in.
The numerical difference between 64π and 16π is 48π; this makes no sense because we cannot compare area (in^2) to length (in).
If possible, discuss this situatio with your teacher.
