Answer:
A) 17 m B) 20.8 m
Step-by-step explanation:
I cannot mark on the image but you can find the length of A to the bottom of the shape by subtracting 26-11
26-11 = 15
I will label the triangle as ABC (AB the length we trying to find, BC is 15 *it is angle B to the intercept of A and the bottom of the shape, AC is 8 because it is parallel to the given length 8)
AB is the hypotenuse
We can use the pythagorean theorem to find length AB (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
a and b is the legs which is 8 and 15
8^2 + 15^2 = AB^2
64 + 225 = AB^2
289 = AB^2
√289 = AB (to undo a square, you use square roots)
√289 = 17
AB = 17 m
Now we need to find the hypotenuse of AC
the same thing, we did for problem A, use the pythagorean theorem
17^2 + 12^2 = AC^2
289 + 144 = AC^2
433 = AC^2
√433 = AC
√433 is <em>about </em>20.808...
round to the tenth as stated in the directions
AC = 20.8 m
What is there to answer there’s nothing there
The percent decrease for 3 to .5 is 83.33%
Answer: Eric: The 10 is the initial amount, the 1/2 is the decay factor or the rate at which it decreases, and the exponent w is the number of weeks it decreases by factor 1/2, or the time. Andrea, 1 is the initial amount, 0.2 is the decay factor or rate of decrease, w is time passed or number of weeks it's decayed by the factor.
