A right triangle has one leg with unknown length, the other leg with length of 5 m, and the hypotenuse with length 13 times sqrt 5 m.
We can use the Pythagorean formula to find the other leg of the right triangle.
a²+b²=c²
Where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
According to the given problem,
one leg: a= 5m and hypotenuse: c=13√5 m.
So, we can plug in these values in the above equation to get the value of unknown side:b. Hence,
5²+b²=(13√5)²
25 + b² = 13²*(√5)²
25 + b² = 169* 5
25+ b² = 845
25 + b² - 25 = 845 - 25
b² = 820
b =√ 820
b = √(4*205)
b = √4 *√205
b = 2√205
b= 2* 14.32
b = 28.64
So, b= 28.6 (Rounded to one decimal place)
Hence, the exact length of the unknown leg is 2√205m or 28.6 m (approximately).
Given that the two watchtowers spotted fire in the distance and watch tower 2 was 27 miles from the fire. Assuming that the fire is in the middle of both watch towers, then the distance between the two watch towers will be given by:
distance=[distance of fire from watch tower 1]+[distance of fire from watch tower 2]
=27+27
=53 miles

Answer:
The employee earned a total of $1004.40 dollars in commissions this week
Step-by-step explanation:
Times the number of televisions (36) by there cost ($620)
That will give you $22320
Then time $22320 by 0.045 which will give you $1004.40
Hope that helps
