Let y = the distance between the top left corner and the bottom right corner
y^2 = 24^2 + 15^2
y^2 = 801
y = 3 * sqrt(89)
Now we can find x.
12^2 + x^2 = (3 * sqrt(89))^2
x^2 = 657
x = 3 * sqrt(73) or 25.63
Number of nickels plus number of dimes equals total number of coins
so
n + d = 40
then they tell us that "there are seven times as many dimes as there are nickels"
this translates to
d = 7n
we then plug that into our first equation
and get
n + 7n = 40
then we solve for n
add like terms
8n = 40
then divide both sides by 8
n = 40/8 = 5
therefore Jimmy has 5 nickels
They are either the same, or opposite number.
I think D is the correct answer.
I think the answer would be 7/50
