Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance between the parallel sides is: B. 3.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

The Pythagorean theorem is given as, c² = a² + b², if in a right triangle, a and b are the lengths of the smaller legs, and c is the length of the longest side (hypotenuse).

<h3>What is a Trapezoid?</h3>

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has one pair of opposite sides that are parallel to each other. These parallel sides are called bases. The distance between the height of the parallel sides of a trapezoid is the height of the trapezoid.

In the image given, we would apply the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the parallel sides of the right trapezoid.

c = 5

a = 8 - 4 = 4

b = distance between the parallel sides

b = √(5² - 4²)

b = 3 units.

The answer is: B. 3.

Leah loves chicken a wings and is comparing the deals at three diffrent restaurants. Buffalo bills has 8 wings for $7 .Buffalo m

marshall27 [118]

For each, divide the amount by the number of wings

7 divided by 8: 0.875 = $0.88 per wing

10 divided by 12: 0.8333 = $0.83 per wing

17 divided by 20: 0.85 = $0.85 per wing

Looking at each result, the middle one (the $10 for 12 wings) is the best deal

What is the solution to ln (x2 - 16) = 0?

bogdanovich [222]

ANSWER

$x = \pm \sqrt{17}$
EXPLANATION

The given equation is

$ln( {x}^{2} - 16) = 0$

Take antilogarithm of both sides to base e.

${e}^{ ln( {x}^{2} - 16) } = {e}^{0}$

This will simplify to

${x}^{2} - 16 = 1$

Group like terms to obtain,

${x}^{2} = 1 + 16$

${x}^{2} = 17$

Take square root of both sides to get,

$x = \pm \sqrt{17}$
