The value of y in the triangle is 2√5
The triangle above is a right angle triangle.
Characteristics of a right angle triangle:
- One of its angle is equals to 90 degrees
- The sides can be found using Pythagoras theorem.
Using Pythagoras theorem
where
c = hypotenuse(longest side)
a and b are the 2 other legs.
Therefore,
6² = 4² + y²
36 = 16 + y²
y² = 36 - 16
y² = 20
y = √20
y = 2√5

The answer is either b or c
I am setting the week hourly rate to x, and the weekend to y. Here is how the equation is set up:
13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70
This is a system of equations, and we can solve it by multiplying the top equation by 4, and the bottom equation by -7. Now it equals:
52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90
Now we add these two equations together to get:
-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (divide both sides by 53) x = 8.10. This is how much she makes per hour on a week day.
Now we can plug in our answer for x to find y. I am going to use the first equation, but you could use either.
$105.30 + 14y = $250.90. Subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40
Now we know that she makes $8.10 per hour on the week days, and $10.40 per hour on the weekends. Subtracting 8.1 from 10.4, we figure out that she makes $2.30 more per hour on the weekends than week days.
Answer:
it should be 17.9, I don't really know how to explain it I'm sorry-
