Pytagorean theorem

height10
attached at 10-4=6 yards from bottom
8 yards from base to away


a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are side legnths and c=hypotonuse
so therfore we are given a and b and we must solve for c


so
6=height
8=base

6^2+8^2=c^2
36+64=c^2
100=c^2
square root
10=c

so therfor the legnth of each cable is 10 yards
3 cables so 3 times 10=30

30 yards needed

mia hired a moving company, it charged 500$ for service mia give them a 16% tip.How much did she tip the movers.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

$80

Step-by-step explanation:

First you take 500 and multiply by 16% or .16.

You should get 80.

A tip for the future is when you have a percentage just move the decimal place to the left twice.

ie. 50%=.50, 125%=1.25, 2%=.02

I hope this helps :)
