\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{12}\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \sqrt{13^2-12^2}=b\implies \sqrt{25}=b\implies 5=b

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

13 is the hypotenuse because it is the longest side.

12^2 + b^2 = 13^2

144 + b^2 = 169

subtract the 144 from both sides to isolate the variable you are solving for

b^2 = 25

Square root both sides to solve

b = 5

The price of an item has increased 15% since last year. However, a person can buy the item for a 25% employee discount. The empl
ANEK [815]

Answer: $200

Explanation:

The employee pays $172.50 and he got 25% employee discount.

If the cost is $100, he pays $(100 - 25) = $75.

So, employee pays =  

100

75

⋅

172.50

= $230.00.

Again, price was increased by 15% last year. So whose cost is $100

is sold by $(100+15) = $115.

When sell price is $115, then cost price is $100. Then,

when sell price is $230, then cost price is  

100

115

⋅

230

= $200.
