To the nearest foot, it would be 23 feet. I found this using the Pythagorean Theorem of a (squared) + b (squared) = c (squared). If you have 24 as the hypotenuse, you have to square this and subtract 64 (8*8) from it. That will equal 512. So you have to find the square root of that which is 22.62, which will round to 23 feet.

The doctor recommended that Mike increase the number of calories he burns working out from 1,500 to 1,800. By what percent did t
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: The number of calories increased by 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The doctor recommended that Mike increase the number of calories he burns working out from 1,500 to 1,800.

Previous number of calories he used to burn = 1,500

Increase in calories = 1800-1500=300

Now , the percent increase in calories = \dfrac{\text{Increase in calories}}{\text{previous calories}}\times100

=\dfrac{300}{1500}\times100=20\%

Hence , the number of calories increased by 20%.

I need help finding perimeter of a rectangle with the side missing
3241004551 [841]
The perimeter of a rectangle is  (2 lengths) plus (2 widths).

If one side is missing, then it sounds like you still have enough information
to know what the length and the width are.  Just take each number and use
the first line up there /\ to calculate the perimeter with them.

An inverse variation function has a k value of 8. Which ordered pair is on the graph of the function?
Vinvika [58]

The points on the graph of the inverse variation are of the form:

(x, 8/x)

<h3>Which ordered pairs are on the graph of the function?</h3>

An inverse variation function is written as:

y = k/x.

Here we know that k = 8.

y = 8/x

Then the points (x, y) on the graph of the function are of the form:

(x, 8/x).

So evaluating in different values of x, we can get different points on the graph:

  • if x = 1, the point is (1, 8)
  • if x = 2, the point is (2, 4)
  • if x = 3, the point is (3, 8/3)
  • if x = 4, the point is (4, 2)

And so on.
