The hypotenuse^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2
The hypotenuse is always the LONGEST side of any right triangle.
It is also the side that is opposite the right angle
It depends on how many options you have
You multiply the total number of books you have time 5 because you can choose 5
Answer: total profit = $418
======================================================
Work Shown:
June
Income = (4 lawns)*($27 per lawn) = $108
Expenses = ($32 for gas)+($12 for trim line) = $44
Profit = income - expenses = 108-44 = $64
----------------------------
July
Income = (12 lawns)*($20 per lawn) = $240
Expenses = ($89 for gas)+($29 for blade sharpening) = $118
Profit = income - expenses = 240 - 89 = $151
----------------------------
August
Income = (16 lawns)*($20 per lawn) = $320
Expenses = ($101 for gas)+($16 for oil) = $117
Profit = income - expenses = 320-117 = $203
----------------------------
Total profit = (june profit)+(july profit)+(august profit)
Total profit = (64) + (151) + (203)
Total profit = $418
If the final result was negative, then we would call this a loss. However, we have a positive value, so we go with a profit.
A is the answer to the question.
