Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: Using the pythagorean theorem A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where C is the hypotenuse of the triangle and any A and B are any sides of the triangle that are not the hypotenuse; we can rewrite this as A^2 = C^2 - B^2 to find out the missing side. I picked A to be the unknown side but you could also choose B. We know the hypotenuse is 39, and side B is 36. 39^2 - 36^2, or 1521 - 1296, is 225.

Now we have A^2 = 225. To get rid of the square, we have to take the square root of both sides. The A^2 cancels to be A, and sqrt(225) is 15. Thus, side A, or the missing side is 15.

Hope this helped!

Answer: 33 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to write a proportion

Speed rate = 88 step per minute

Time = 90 minutes

So, the proportion is 88 step/min / 90 minutes

For 33 steps per minutes = 33 / x minutes

88/90 = 33/x

solving for x:

x= 33/ (88/90)

x = 33.75 = 33 minutes.
