Answer:

The distance between opposite corners of the living room is 30ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be thought of as a right triangle and we want to know its hypotenuse

To calculate one side of a right triangle from the other 2 sides we have to use Pythagoras

h = hypotenuse

a = leg 1 = 18ft

b = leg 2 = 24ft

h² = a² + b²

we replace the known values

h² = (18ft)² + (24ft)²

h² = 324ft² + 576ft²

h² = 900ft²

h = √(900ft²)

h = 30ft

The hypotenuse is 30ft

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

$y=25,700(0.85)^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

$y=a(b)^{x}$

where

y ----> represent the pool’s loss of water

x ----> the number of days

a is the initial value

a=25,700 gal

b ----> is the base

r=15%=15/100=0.15

b=(1-r)=1-0.15=0.85

The function is equal to

$y=25,700(0.85)^{x}$

An orange has 20 fewer calories

Andreyy89

Answer:

90 calories in a banana.

Step-by-step explanation:

O = B - 20 where O is the number calories in an orange and B is a that in banana.

Also 7B = 9O

From the above O = 7B / 9 so substituting in the first equation:

7B / 9 = B - 20

7B = 9B - 180

2B = 180

B = 90.
