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.

Karen works for 85 hours throughout a two-week period. She earns $2,891.25 throughout this period. How much does karen earn for
valentinak56 [21]
$271.11 or $271.12 if you round up. Not sure how this one is complicated. Correct me if I’m wrong... 2.891.25 divided by 85. You then take that number and multiple it by 8. Seems very straight up.

A rectangle has dimensions 9 1/4 in. by 15 in. A diagonal of the rectangle forms two matching right triangles. What is the area
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Area of one of the triangles = 69.375 in² (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One side of rectangle = 9.25 in

Other side of rectangle =  15 in

Diagonal create two equal right triangle.

Find:

Area of one of the triangles = ?

Computation:

⇒ Area of one of the triangles = 1/2 [One side of rectangle × Other side of rectangle]

⇒ Area of one of the triangles = 1/2 [9.25 × 15]

⇒ Area of one of the triangles = 1/2 [138.75]

⇒ Area of one of the triangles = 69.375 in² (Approx)
