Answer:

BC = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of BC you need to use the pythagorean theorem.  

a^{2} +b^{2}=c^{2}

There are two part to a triangle that need to be put into this equation.  The hypotenuse(c) and the legs(a, b).  The legs would be the side NEXT to the right angle.  The hypotenuse is ACROSS from the right angle.  In this equation we are looking for the hypotenuse.  It doesn't matter which letter the legs replace just remember that the hypotenuse alway has to be C.

20^{2} +15^{2} =c^{2}

Now you have to square the numbers then add.

400+225=c^{2}

625=c^{2}

Now find the square root of 625 to get rid of the squared in the C.

c = 25

Hope this helped.

Eva is picking fruit at a farm. The fees are $5 for entry to the farm, $2.50 per pound of blueberries, and $2 per pound of apple
olasank [31]

Answer:

The required expression is: y = 5 + 2.50b + 2a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Entry = \$5

Blueberry = \$2.50

Apple = \$2

Required

Write an expression for this scenario

If 1 pound of blueberry cost $2.50

then b pounds = 2.50 * b

If 1 pound of apple cost $2

then a pounds = 2 * a

The required expression (y) is then calculated as

y = Entry\ Fee + Blueberry = Apple

y = 5 + 2.50 * b + 2 * a

y = 5 + 2.50b + 2a

Hence, the required expression is: y = 5 + 2.50b + 2a

Write the series using summation notation. Then find the sum of the series.
ivolga24 [154]

Hello, please consider the following.

\displaystyle 1+2+3+...+12=\sum_{k=1}^{k=12} {k}=\dfrac{12*13}{2}=6*13=78

For the second we will need to put on the same denominator.

\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{4}+...+\dfrac{1}{14}=\sum_{k=1}^{k=7} {\dfrac{1}{2k}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{420+210+140+105+84+70+60}{5*7*3*2*2}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1089}{420}\\\\=\dfrac{1089}{840}=1.296429...

Thank you.
