Answer:

12.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve for the unknown side "c" we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem formula,

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

We already have a and b which are 8 and 9 so we plug them in.

$(8)^2 + (9)^2 = c^2$

64 + 81 = c^2

145 = c^2

c = 12.04 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Thus,

the unknown side is about 12.04.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

So if you want to divide an amount equally, you divide the numbers. In this scenario, what you would do is this:

1/2 needs to be split 8 times

(1/2)/8

If you have something like this where the numerator is a fraction, then you multiply 2x8. that gives you 16, so now you add the 1 on top and you get 1/16.

Answer:

2.33 = BC

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp / adj

tan B = AC / BC

tan 25 = AC / 5

Multiply each side by 5

5 tan 25 = BC

2.331538291 = BC

To the nearest hundredth

2.33 = BC

The length of the top of a computer desk is 2 1/4 feet longer than it’s width. If it’s width measures y feet, express its length

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The length as an algebraic expression in y is $y + (2\frac{1}{4} )$ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the width of the computer desk = y feet

The measure of the length of the desk = width + 2 1/4 ft

⇒Measure of Length = $y + (2\frac{1}{4} )$ ft

Hence, the length as an algebraic expression in y is $y + (2\frac{1}{4} )$ ft

A girl ran from her home to a store at the rate of 6 mph, and she walked back home at the rate of 4 mph. if it took 15 minutes f

viva [34]

Home is 0.6 miles away from the store

How to solve such time related questions?

The key concept for solving such questions is the relationship between speed, distance and time.

The relationship between them is Distance = Speed x Time

Given:-

Total time taken by girl to complete the trip = 15 minutes = $\frac{1}{4}$ hours

Speed while riding going = 6 miles per hour

Speed while coming back = 4 miles per hour

Total time taken by girl =

Time taken while going + Time taken while coming back - (1)

Let x be distance from home to store

$\frac{x}{6}$ = Time taken while going

$\frac{x}{4}$ = Time taken while coming back

Substituting in (1) we get

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{4}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2x + 3x}{12}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5x}{12}$

$x= \frac{12}{20}$

x = 0.6 miles

Thus home is 0.6 miles away from the store

Veronica earns $150 per week plus 3.5% on sales,while Francis earns 6% commission only

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

a) Veronica earns $276. Francis earns $216

b) $6000

Step-by-step explanation:

Veronica's income would be I= 0.035s +150 where I is income and s is sales while Francis's income would be 0.06s. So for $3600 in sales Veronica earns $276 while Francis earns $216. To find the answer to part b just set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x. so 0.035x + 150 = 0.06x Subtracting 0.035 x from both sides gives 150 = 0.025x. Dividing both sides by 0.025 gives x = $6000
