The answer to this question is 16 units
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Use the Pythagorean Theorem</u>
The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is 
* a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.*
(To know which side is the hypotenuse look at longest side which is across the right angle).
a= x, b=8, c=9

Let's Plug in the side lengths:

Evaluate 8^2 and 9^2:

Subtract 64 from both sides:


Take the square root of both sides:

Answer:
a=48 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle can be found using:
a=bh
We know the base is 6, and the height is 8, so we can substitute them in
a=6*8
a=48
Area uses units squared, so,
a=48 units^2
Answer:
y = -5x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start with the first given values for x and y
(2,10)
Lets try out the first equation
y = 5x + 4
y = 5(2) + 4
y = 14
This equation wouldn't work because the y value is not 10 when the x value is 2
y = 5x + 20
y = 5(2) + 20
y = 30
This equation doesn't work either
y = -5x + 20
y = -5(2) + 20
y = -10 + 20
y = 10
This would be the correct equation since your y value is 10 when the x value is 2
