A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 25 feet and a leg of 7 feet. Which of these is the length of the other leg?

1 answer:

7 0

A^2 + b^2 = c^2...where a and b are ur legs and c is ur hypotenuse

7^2 + b^2 = 25^2
49 + b^2 = 625
b^2 = 625 - 49
b^2 = 576...take square root of both sides, eliminating the ^2
b = sq rt 576
b = 24 ft <=== length of the other leg

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The sandals cost before tax $25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the sandals cost before tax $x.

So, after giving an 8% tax the price will be $x(1 + \frac{8}{100}) = 1.08x$ .

If the $15 gift certificate on that after tax price and the final cost of the sandals becomes $12, then

1.08x - 15 = 12

⇒ 1.08x = 27

⇒ x = $25

Hence, the sandals cost before tax $25. (Answer)
