A: ,
A comma seperates two ideas to make it a compound sentence and can link two ideas together. A plus is for math, and a period is used to end a sentence
Since this is a right triangle, you can use the pythagorean theorem, 
, to find XY. Since we know that 15 and 17 are our legs and that XY is the hypotenuse, we can solve it as such:
In short, XY is √514, or 22.67 rounded to the hundreths, units long.
Answer:
7/8 of a gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
First find a common denominator for each of the values, in this case eighths. Next, add the total water used for the tomatoes and peppers (you'll get 7/8 gallons). Then, convert the 2 and a half gallons to eighths, getting 20/8 of a gallon. Next, subtract the 7/8 from the 20/8; getting 13/8. Since you need to find the amount of water used for the lettuce, subtract the last value from 3/4 gallons (or 6/8)
