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.

What is the value of k?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

k = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles angels added up must equal 180 degrees, and the top angle is 65 degrees by the 180 degree rule.  

So 10k + 15 must equal the remaining 115

subtract 15 from each side and you get 10k = 100

divide each each by 10 and you get the answer of k = 10
