Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the given squares are

Area = 64 in

Area = 225 in

Area = 289 in

The length of each side of a square is determined by finding the square root of its area. For the first square, the length of its side is √64 = 8inches. For the second square, the length of its side is √225 = 15inches. For the third square, the length of its side is √289 = 17inches.

For a right angle triangle to be formed, Pythagorean theorem must be obeyed. Sum of the square of the smaller sides must equal the square of the longer side. Therefore,

8² + 15² = 17²

289 = 289

Therefore, the correct statement is

Yes, a right triangle can be formed because the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares equals the area of the largest square

Ramona is a saleswoman whose base plus commissions amounted to $52,561 last year. If her base pay was $23,960 and she made $77,3

Ksju [112]

Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ramona received an overall pay of $52,561 last year, $23,960 of which was base pay, we can first subtract these two numbers to find the amount she made from her sales commission:

$52,561 - $23,960 = $28,601

In order to find her percent commission, we can set up a proportion:

$\frac{p}{100}=\frac{28,601}{77,300}$ , where 'p' is her rate of commission
