The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal, it is obtained by Pythagoras theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given are,

           From ΔABC,

                    AB= 6

                    BC= 10

                    AC = x

           From ΔDEC,

                    CD= 28

                    DE= 21

                    CE = y

Step:1

        Pythagoras theorem from  ΔABC,

                    BC^{2}=AB^{2} + AC^{2}...............(1)

       Substitute the values,

                   10^{2} = 6^{2} + AC^{2}

                  100 = 36 + AC^{2}

                   AC^{2} = 100 - 36

                           = 64

                    AC = \sqrt{64}

                    AC = 8

                  AC = x = 8

Step:2

        Pythagoras theorem for ΔDEC,

               CE^{2} = CD^{2}  + DE^{2}................(2)

       From the values,

              CE^{2} = 28^{2} + 21^{2}

             CE^{2} = 784 + 441

                     = 1225

              CE = \sqrt{1225}

              CE = 35

             CE = y = 35

Result:

         The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal.

Answer:

Yes, the total cost of Lacey lesson is a split function of hours scheduled

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Lacey pays for each hour of golf = $15

The amount Lacey pays for equipment rental = $10

The amount Lacy pays for equipment rental for a 3 hours long lesson = $5

Therefore, we have

Let C represent the total cost of Lacey lesson and let t represent the number of hours, we have;

C = $10 + t × $15 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 3

C = $5 + t × $15 for t > 3

Therefore, the total cost of Lacey lesson is a split function of hours scheduled
