A^2+b^2= 15^2

b=a-3

Use substitution
a^2+(a-3)^2= 225
a^2+a^2-6a+9=225
2a^2-6a=-216
2a^2-6a+216=0

2(a^2-3a+108)
2(a-12)(a+9)

(a-12)=0
a=12
(a+9)=0
a=-9
A is -9 or 12, but since an object can't have a negative length or width, a must be 12.

Plug this value of a in.
b=(12)-3
b=9

Final answer: Length=9, width=12

Solve for x round to the nearest tenth.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

x ≈ 15.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

x² + 6² = 17²

x² + 36 = 289 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² = 253 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{253} ≈ 15.9 ( to the nearest tenth )

 Hester sells televisions. She earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $ 15 if the buyer gets an extended war
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

y =mx +bx

Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs

For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:

1200 = 15*16 +16b

and solving for b we got:

b= \frac{1200-15*16}{16}= 60

And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can set a linear model like this:

y =mx +bx

Where y is the total amount earned, m the amount for each extended warranty and b the fixed cost and x the total amount of TVs

For this case the value of x = 16 since we have 16 Tvs with extended warranties and we can do this:

1200 = 15*16 +16b

and solving for b we got:

b= \frac{1200-15*16}{16}= 60

And then we can conclude that she earns 60 for each TV
