Answer:
22.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagoras’ theorem:
a^2+b^2=c^2
But we rearrange this formula to make it
c^2-a^2=b^2
So 25^2-15^2=b^2
625-225= b^2 = 400
You now need to find the square root of 400 to find the square root of b
sqrt of 400 is 20
So 20 is the missing length in this triangle
Let the number of copies that must be sold to break even be x, then
3255 + 2.90x = 13.75x
13.75x - 2.90x = 3255
10.85x = 3255
x = 3255/10.85 = 300.
Therefore, 300 <span>copies must be sold to break even</span>

Answer:
8 ± √34 ≈ {2.169, 13.831}
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent one of the numbers. Then the other is 16 -x and their product is ...
x(16 -x) = 30
x^2 -16x = -30 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, multiply by -1
x^2 -16x +64 = 34 . . . . add 64 to complete the square
(x -8)^2 = 34 . . . . . . . . rewrite
x -8 = ±√34 . . . . . . . .square root
x = 8 ± √34 . . . . . . add 8
x ≈ {2.169, 13.831}
