If the triangle is a right triangle, the pythagorean theorem would work
since it doesn’t, the triangle is NOT A RIGHT TRIANGLE
(see attached pic for work :))
X=small bag
y=large bag
5x+3y=260
4x+2y=200
(5x+3y=260)*4 =20x+12y=1040
(4x+2y=200)*5 =20x+10y=1000
subtract two equations: 2y=40
divide: y=20
plug y in 5x+3*20=260
simplify x=40
small bag=$40
large bag=$20
Since the equation, <span>h=1.6a+41, is linear, we know that the coefficient of x, or in this case a, is the slope. Therefore the correct answer would be
</span><span>The model predicts that for each year older a male student is, he is about 1.6 inches taller.</span>
The answer was : <span>0.00753768844 I did have to use a calculator for that and I hope that was ok. ;)</span>
