Answer:

The answer to your question is 25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

height = 20 ft

leg = 15 ft

length of the line = ?

To solve this problem use the Pythagorean theorem.

Height = short leg = b

leg = long leg = a

length of the line = hypotenuse = c

- Substitution

         c² = (20)² + (15)²

-Simplification

         c² = 400 + 225

         c² = 625

-Result

         c = \sqrt{625}

         c = 25 ft

if a girl worked for 5 hours a day and gets payed $9 dollars an hour how many hours does she have to work to get 2,000 dollars
kupik [55]

Answer:

222 2/9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Income = hours * dollars per hours

We need an income of 2000

We get $9/ hour

Substitute in what we know

2000 =  hour * $9

Divide by 9 on each side

2000/9 = hours

222.222(repeating) = hours

222 2/9 hours

If we want to know how many days, we will divide by 5 since she works 5  hours a day

222 2/9 ÷5

44 4/9 days

Kendra and Jeremy bought 10 gallons of gasoline at $3.26 per gallon. How much did Kendra and Jeremy pay for the gasoline?
Blababa [14]
If you have questions like this, you have to multiply the number of things that are bought by their prize per things:

so here the number is 10 gallons, and the prize is 3.26 per gallon.

and the answer is 10*3.26, which is 32.6 (multiplying fractions by 10 means "moving" the perdioD by 1 to the right, a tip!)

How do changes in voltage or resistance affect current in an electric current ?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. This means that increasing the voltage will cause the current to increase, while increasing the resistance will cause the current to decrease.

Eslynn tracked her speeds and times she cycled on the weekend.
galben [10]

Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Example

x=y

x+z=y+z

If we subtract the same number from both sides of an equation, both sides will remain equal.

Example

x=y

x−z=y−z

If we divide both sides of an equation by the same number, both sides will remain equal.

Example

x=y

x÷z=y÷z

If we multiply both sides of an equation  by the same number, both sides will remain equal.

x=y

x⋅z=y⋅z
