You don't say whether this is a right triangle or not.

Assuming it is a right triangle, then we use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:

(hypo) = (length of third side) = √(12^2 + 4^2) = √(144+16) = √160 = 4√10.

This is approx. 12.65 inches. Since this does not match any of the possible answer choices, we'll have to take a different approach to answering this question.

Given that 2 sides of the given triangle are 12 and 4 inches, respectively, we see that the 3rd side has to be longer than 8 inches; otherwise we'd have three line segments on the same line, not forming a triangle.

By this reasoning, 9 inches is the only possible answer that could be correct. With sides 12, 9 and 4 inches, the triangle would be obtuse and appear quite flat, but not be part of a straight line as with a third side of 8.

A cell phone company offers two plans for unlimited calling. The first plan has a monthly charge of $25 and 8.08 per text messag
Alja [10]
The answer is 125 messages.
Firstly the best thing to do is create two different equations.
1. y=25+.08x
2. y=20+.12x
Then you plug into Desmos and see at what point they cross. They cross at (125, 35).
Therefore for 125 text messages would cost 35$ for each plan.

A share of stock in the Lofty Cheese Company is quoted at 25 1/4. Suppose you hold 30 shares of that stock, which you bought at
Marizza181 [45]
I don't know the options, but I can say this:

if you bought it at 20 1/4 and you sell them at 25 1/4 then your win pro stock is the difference between those two numbers, which is 5. (25 1/4-20 1/4 =5)

and if you sell all of them, your profit will be 30*5=150 dollars.
