A^2 + b^2 = c^2......a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
12^2 + 16^2 = c^2
144 + 256 = c^2
400 = c^2
sqrt 400 = c
20 = c <===

you were 20 inches tall at birth, and 48 inches tall on your 8th birthday. Create a linear equation to represent this equation.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Part a) $y=3.5x+20$

Part b) $90\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Create a linear equation to represent this situation

Let

x -----> the number of years

y ----> the height in inches

we have the points

(020) ----> at birth the height was 20 inches

(8,48) ---> 8th birthday the height was 48 inches

step 1

Find the linear equation in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

<em>Find the slope m</em>

$m=(48-20)/(8-0)\\m=3.5\ in/year$

<em>Find the value of b</em>

$b=20\ in$ ----> the point (0,20) is the y-intercept

substitute

$y=3.5x+20$

Part b) According to your equation, how tall will you be at age 20?

For x=20 years

substitute the value of x in the linear equation and solve for y

$y=3.5(20)+20$

$y=90\ in$

the number of pizzas eaten at the class party is equal to one-fourth and number of students plus two more pizzas for the adults

maria [59]

If s represents the number of students, then the number of pizzas is
s/4 + 2 = 9
s/4 = 7 . . . . . . subtract 2
s = 28 . . . . . . multiply by 4

There are 28 students.

Find the value of x. The diagram is not drawn to scale.

lidiya [134]

116+y=180(sum of angles in a straight line)
y=180-116
y=64

x+y+125+72=540(sum of angles in a quadrant)
x+64+125+72=540
x+125+136=540
x+261=540
x=540-261
x=79
