Answer:

14.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

since this is creating a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean theorem which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, and by plugging in the one leg length and the hypotenuse length you get 14.8324 which rounds up to 14.8

Solve the equation for y.<br> 8x – 9y = 11
pav-90 [236]
8x-9y=11

First you move the 8x because you have to leave the 9y alone

8x-9y=11
-8x        -8x

-9y=11-8x

Now you have to move the -9, so the inverse of multiplying is dividing so you divide -9.

-9y/-9= 11/-9 -8x/-9

since you can't have negative as a denominator it would be:

y= -11/9+8x/9

Please help out. Max points given a=12; b=?; c=22
Keith_Richards [23]

18.44 because Pythagorean Theorem says that 12^2 + b^2 = 22^2. Then to solve you square the numbers, 144 - b^2 = 484, then subtract 144 from 484 and get 340, and the square root of 340 is 18.44.

Daniel wrote the following two-column proof for the given information. Given: AB = 3x + 2; BC = 4x + 8; AC = 38 Prove: x = 4 Sta
nadezda [96]
Given: 
1. AB = 3x +2;  BC = 4x + 8;  AC = 38

2. AB + BC = AC                 incorrect (not an angle angle addition postulate)
3. 3x+2 + 4x + 8 = 38         correct
4. 7x + 10 = 38                    correct
5. 7x = 28                           correct
6. x = 4

Daniel made an error on line 2.
