Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2+6^2 = 23^2
a^2 = 23^2 - 6^2
a^2 = 529 - 36
a^2 = 493
a = √493
a = 22,20
17. On average, Nestor works 7.5 hours of overtime in 4 weeks, so works an average of 7.5/4 = 1.875 overtime hours per week.
On average, each week Nestor gets paid for 7.5×5 + 2×1.875 = 41.25 hours, so is paid*
... (41.25 h)×($7.42/h) = $306.075
Each week Rita gets paid for 8×5 + 1.5×3 = 44.5 hours, so is paid
... (44.5 h)×($7.64/h) = $339.98
Their combined earning for a week are $306.075 + 339.98 = $646.055, so over a period of 12 weeks, they are paid a total of
... (12 weeks)×($646.055/week) = $7,752.66
18. Assuming Robin is paid time and a half for overtime, she was paid for
