To solve this you will you the Pythagorean Theorem. 
the equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is a²+b²=c².
fill in the information you have:
a²+3²=5²
now solve for a:
a²+9=25
    -9   -9
a²=16
√a²=√16
a=4
The length of the side a of the right triangle is 4.
Hope I helped...

Archy [21]
It’s B because 21% of 157 is 32.97 which then you would then add with the 157 people already there and get 189.97 and since you cannot have .97 of a person you round it up to 190

Paws at play made a total of $1234 grooming 22 dogs. Paws at Play charges $43 to groom each small dog and $75 for each large dog
vitfil [10]

Answer:

<u>Answer (a):</u>

s + l = 22 ... (i)

43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)

<u>Answer (b)</u>

9 large dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paws at Play made a total of $1234 grooming 22 dogs.

Paws at Play charges $43 to groom each small dog and;

$75 for each large dog.

Let the number of small dogs be 's'

And the number of large dogs be 'l'

<u>A system of equations will be:</u>

s + l = 22 ... (i)

43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)

Solving this set of simultaneous equations by elimination, we simply multiply (i) by 43 to get;

43s + 43l = 946 ... (i)

43s + 75l = 1234 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get;

32l = 288 , l = \frac{288}{32} = 9

So there are 9 large dogs.

I have 7 hundreds blocks, 5 tens blocks, and 8 ones blocks. I use my blocks to model two 3-digit numbers. What could my two numb
lawyer [7]
There 7 blocks of hundreds which means each such block is equivalent to 100.
There are 5 blocks of tens, which means each such block is equivalent to 10.
There are 8 blocks of ones, which means each such block is equivalent to 1.

The total of these blocks will be = 7(100) + 5(10) + 8(10) = 758

We can make several two 3-digit numbers from these blocks. An example is listed below:

Example:
Using 3 hundred block, 2 tens blocks and 4 ones block to make one number and remaining blocks to make the other number. The remaining blocks will be 4 hundred blocks, 3 tens blocks and 4 ones blocks
The two numbers we will make in this case are:

1st number = 3(100) + 2(10) + 4(1) = 324
2nd number = 4(100) + 3(10) + 4(1) = 434

The sum of these two numbers is  = 324 + 434 = 758
i.e. equal to the original sum of all blocks.

This way changing the number of blocks in each place value, different 3 digit numbers can be generated.
