Diagonals that bisect each other are perpendicular and form a right angle.

AEB is a right triangle.

We can apply the Pythagorean theorem:

c^2 = a^2+b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse (longest side) and a and b the other 2 legs.

Replacing:

AB^2 = AE^2+BE^2

AB^2 = 5^2+12^2

AB^2 = 25+144

AB^2 = 169

AB=√169 = 13

Lenght of AB= 13

Rochelle works part-time at the college museum, which pays her at a rate of $10 per hour. She also makes small bracelets that sh

katrin [286]

We know for our problem that Rachel makes $10 per hour. Since $x$ represent the number of hours that she works, $10x$ will be the total amount that she will make for working $x$ hours. We also know that she sells bracelets for $5 each. Since $y$ represents the number of of bracelets that she sells, $5y$ will be her total revenue for selling $y$ bracelets. We also know that she needs to earn at least $200 a week to cover her expenses, so the sum of $10x$ and $5y$ must be equal or greater than 200:

$10x+5 \geq 200$

We can conclude that <span>the graphs that shows the inequality that represents this situation, with its solution region shaded is:</span>
