11.66 or 12
Step-by-step explanation:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
19^2 = 15^2 + b^2
361 = 225 + b^2
361 - 225 = b^2
136 = b^2
(square root of both sides)
b = 11.66or 12
X = length of third side
The third side is unknown and can't be determined to be one fixed number. However, we can find a set of values or a range of acceptable values
If we know that
a = 6
b = 7
are the two given sides, then we can say
b-a < x < b+a
7-6 < x < 7+6
1 < x < 13
So the third side x can be between 1 and 13.
The third side cannot be equal to 1 unit or 13 units because a triangle would not form. Instead a straight line would form.
Note: This idea is using the triangle inequality theorem
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, Nikki earns $12 per hour.
And she also earns a 5% or 0.05 commission of her total sales each day.
On Saturday, she worked eight hours and she earned $139. In other words, she earned 8(12) or $96 from working her hours and another $43 (139-96) from her commission.
Thus:

Where x represents Nikki's total sales on Saturday.
Further notes:
To solve, subtract 96 from both sides and divide by 0.05:

Thus, her total sales that day were $860.
Answer:
12/88, which is 3/22 in simplest form.
