Answer:
The third side is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 =c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
a^2 +225 = 289
Subtract 225 from each side
a^2 +225-225=289-225
a^2 = 64
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(64)
a= 8
First let's define variables:
r: reading
s: skimming
We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
r + s = 275
(15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
We solve the system of equations:
r = 206
s = 69
Note: see attached image for system solution.

Answer:
Average speed = 100 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total distance covered = 250 km
Total time taken = 8:30 am - 6:00 am = 2:30 hours = 2.5
Find:
Average speed.
Computation:
⇒ Average speed = Total distance covered / Total time taken
⇒ Average speed = 250 / 2.5
⇒ Average speed = 100 km/h
