Answer: x = 9

Step-by-Step Solution:

Hypotenuse = 15 units

Base = 12 units

Altitude = x units

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

=> Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Altitude^2

(15)^2 = (12)^2 + x^2

225 = 144 + x^2

225 - 144 = x^2

81 = x^2

x^2 = 81

x = √81

=> x = 9

Therefore, Altitude = 9 units

What is the measure of x? (Geometry question involving circles...)

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

If I am correct it is either 344 degrees or 172 degrees because the highlighted area only takes over half of the circle meaning it has to be 172 or 344 as it is the only numbers over or close to 180 degrees

Hope this Helped!

She worked 9 hours at baby-sitting and 6 hours at her parents store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Baby-sitting hours = x

Hours at parents store = y

Total hours = 15

Amount earned = $93

According to given statement;

x+y=15 Eqn 1

5x+8y=93 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5;

$5(x+y=15)\\5x+5y=75\ \ \ Eqn 3\\$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

$(5x+8y)-(5x+5y)=93-75\\5x+8y-5x-5y=18\\3y=18$

Dividing both sides by 3;

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{18}{3}\\y=6$

Putting y=6 in Eqn 1

$x+6=15\\x=15-6\\x=9$

She worked 9 hours at baby-sitting and 6 hours at her parents store.
