Answer: 9 inches.
Do the pythagorean theorem to find your answer.
Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c2
12 = b
15 = c
a^2 + 12^2 = 15^2
Simplify the equation
a^2 + 144 = 225
Subtract 144 on both sides.
a^2 = 81
Square root of 81 is 9.
Answer:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
3/8 + 1/4
To add these fractions, you need a lowest common denominator. Both 4 and 8 "go into" 8, so the lowest common denominator is 8.
In order to change the denominator 4 to 8, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2. So, 1/4 becomes 2/8.
Now, the problem is 3/8 + 2/8.
You can add the numerators, because the denominator is the same for each fraction.
3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8
Right now the dirt bike is worth $500. Next year it will be worth 15% less, or 85% of the current value (because currently it's at 100%, so you would subtract the 15%). To find 85% of the dirt bike's value, you would take $500 and multiply by 85% (or 0.85). This would give you $425 after 1 year. You'd take $425 and multiply that by 85% for the next year, and continue until you reached 5 years of the value decreasing. Does this help?
