In a basketball game, a regular basket was worth 2 points and a long-distance basket was worth 3 points. If there were 45 basket

s in a game and 96 points total, how many regular baskets r and long-distance baskets l were made?
A. r + l = 96; 2r + 3l = 45
66 regular; 30 long-distance
B. r + l = 45; 2r + 3l = 96
39 regular; 6 long-distance
C. r + l = 96; 3r + 2l = 45
33 regular; 12 long-distance
D. r + l = 45; 3r + 2l = 96
37 regular; 8 long-distance

Answer:

B. r + l = 45; 2r + 3l = 96

39 regular; 6 long-distance

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 45 baskets, so

(1) r + l = 45

There were 96 points in the game, so

(2) 2r + 3l = 96

Solve equation (1) for l

                    l = 45 – r     Substitute the value for l in Equation (2)

2r + 3(45 – r) = 96      Remove parentheses

 2r + 135 - 3r = 96      Combine like terms

         -r + 135 = 96      Subtract 135 from each side

                  -r = -39      Multiply each side by -1

                  r = 39      Substitute the value of r in Equation (1)

           39 + l = 45        Subtract 39 from each side

                   l = 6

===============

Check:

(1) 39 + 6 = 45

         45 = 45

(2) 2×39 + 3×6 = 96

           78 + 18 = 96

                   96 = 96

Answer: 100

Hi!

ok so the Pythagorean theorem is

c=\sqrt{x} a^2+b^2=\sqrt{x} 8^2+6^2=10

so the other side is 10.

the square 8 is 8*8

and square 6 is 6*6

so the other square is 10*10=100.

so the area of the blank square is 100.

What is the answer to this question? Write an expression in simplest form for the perimeter of a right triangle with leg lengths
blagie [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of both legs of the right angle triangle are given, we would determine the hypotenuse, h by applying Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = one leg² + other leg²

Therefore,

h² = (3a)³ + (4a)³

h² = 27a³ + 64a³

h² = 91a³

Taking square root of both sides,

h = √91a³

The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is expressed as

Perimeter = a + b + c

a, b and c are the side length of the triangle. Therefore, the expression for the perimeter of the right angle triangle is

√91a³ + (3a)³ + (4a)³

= √91a³ + 91a³

Find the distance between the points (11, 4) and (10, 5).​
alexdok [17]

Answer:

square root of 2 or if needed simplified, 1.414213 to the nearest millionth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the equation d= square root of (11-10)^2+(4-5)^2 where that is simplified to square root of (1)^2+(-1)^2 to square root of 1+1 to your final answer, square root of 2. Also simplified to 1.414213.
