To find missing side lengths in right triangles we use Pythagoras' Theorem which is
a%5E2%2Bb%5E2=c%5E2
where a and b are the lengths of the short sides of the triangle and c is the length of the longest side of the triangle, (this is called the hypotenuse)
So a=8 and b=15. Putting those numbers into the equation gives
8%5E2%2B15%5E2=c%5E2


working out the numbers gives
64%2B225=c%5E2 i.e. c%5E2=289
because we need to find what c is, we need to take the square root of 289
c=sqrt%28289%29
Therefore c = 17.
the pipe needs to be 17 ft long.

Since the order of selection does not matter, we will use combinations to solve this problem.

We are to form the combination of 30 objects taken 6 at a time. This can be expressed as 30C6.

30C6= \frac{30!}{6!*24!}  \\  \\ 
= 593775

This means the six teachers can be selected in 593775 ways.

So the correct answer is option A

Troy started at the fire station. He walked to the library and then rode his bike to the post office. If Troy only traveled alon
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calling it blocks is a little weird. but a good way to do it is to move left or right until you are over or below where you want to go then move up or down accordingly.  Each move, left, right up or down will count as one block.

So from the fire station you go 1 to the right and then 6 down, for a total of 7.  then from the library  it's 3 right then 4 up, which is 7 again.  7 to the first stop then 7 to the second makes 14 total.  

If there's something you don't get let me know.
