Okay as dumb=b as it sounds, i have the answer but i cannot type it out on the computer..... the way i got this answer was through an app called "photomath". download it!! trust me you wont be disappointing because you can solve formulas like this<span />
-2(x - 5) + 4(9 + x)
-2x + 10 + 36 + 4x
=2x + 46
When you distribute, it would be 6x - 21 + 5
-21 + 5 = -16
this means the answer would be left as 6x - 16

Answer:
(d) 36 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use your sense of geometry.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle will never be less than the longest side, and will never be greater than 1.5 times the longest side*.
That means the only reasonable answer choices will be between 30 and 45 feet. There is only one such choice.
The measure is about 36 feet.
__
If you like, you can find a more exact value using the Pythagorean theorem. The distance d of interest is ...
d^2 = 20^2 +30^2 = 1300
d = √1300 = 10√13 ≈ 36.0555 ≈ 36 . . . feet
_____
* The longest hypotenuse will be √2 ≈ 1.4142 times the longest right triangle leg when the two legs are equal length.
