Answer:

B (5 sqrt10)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the hypotenuse is 17, and a leg is 8, that makes the other leg equal to sqrt((17^2)-(8^2)) = sqrt(289-64) = sqrt(225) = 15.

Because you subtract 3 from the leg with length 8, that makes the smaller triangles leg 5. That makes the hypotenuse sqrt(5^2 + 15^2) = 5sqrt10

I'm guessing you typoed for B and meant 5sqrt10, so the answer is B

Answer:

5\sqrt{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use Pythagorean's Theorem, the other side becomes 15.

We can now use the same Theorem to find x.

8 - 3 = 5

15^2 + 5^2 = 250

That simplifies down to 5\sqrt{10}

Find the area of a parallelogram if a base and corresponding altitude have the indicated lengths. Base 1 1/2 feet, altitude 6 in
Butoxors [25]
Area of a parallelogram = A =base*height

so in this case is just (1½)(6).

first off let's convert the mixed fraction to "improper",

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{3}{2}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3}{2}\cdot 6\implies \cfrac{18}{2}\implies 9

Ok here is a better pic I need help with it​
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First,You have to realize that if you multiply the amount of food by something, you multiply the amount of calories.  if some piece of food is 100 calories what happens if you eat 2?  you get 2 times that number of calories.  Same fi you eat half of one of that kind of food.  You get half the amount of calories.

Here he makes 1 1/2 (one and a half) times the amount.  Now, if this is confusing  you just need to realize that  multiplying by this is the same as multiplying by 1+1/2.  Say, again, a piece of food is 100 calories.  Multiplying it by this would look like the following.

100(1+1/2)

100*1 + 100*1/2

100+50

150

So if you ever have a mixed number like this  you could split it up into an addition problem and then distribute hat you're multiplying.  Another solution is to multiply by the improper fraction, which here is 3/2, so 100*3/2=150 as well.  Let me know if you don't get how to get the improper fraction or how to multiply fractions.

Now, super simple, just multiply the calories by that number.

310(1+1/2) = 310(3/2)

310 + 155 = 930/2

465 = 465

Kinda showed how to multiply by fractions, still if you don't get it let me know.
