h = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
By applying the Pythagorean Theorem, the slant height is given by the formula:

34 = 





Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First set up the problem like this:
14x-17 = 8x + 1
Now we subtract 14x from each side. This leaves us with:
-17 = 6x+1
Now we need subtract 1 from each side, leaving us with:
-18 = -6x
And now we divide each side by 6x, leaving us with.
3 = x.
And if you insert three into both of the equations, it will result in 25.

"Half of a number decreased by 27" can be displayed as:
<u>1/2x - 27</u>
There are going to be two solutions because the "biggest" x is x^2 but you can factor to find what they actually are.
