Answer:
C. 17 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of s
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
where a is 1/2 l
a = 1/2 (16) = 8
b = h = 15
c =s
8^2 + 15^2 = s^2
64 +225 = s^2
289 = s^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(289) = sqrt(s^2)
17 = s
The answer is m=25 hope this helps
25.6 would be the answer. You need to set up your proportions and then solve accordingly. or you would find your scale factor which was 3.2 and you could multiply that by 8.
If the industry is losing 1.7 thousands jobs in one year, in 10 years it will then lose 1.7*10, or 17 thousand jobs.
now, if we take 63.1 to be the 100%, how much is 17 in percentage off of it?
solve for "x", round it up, make it negative, since it should be a negative rate, since is a decrease in the initial amount.
1/4 = 0.25
6 + 0.25 = 6.25
6.25 x 2 = 12.5
