In order to solve this problem, you must draw a right triangle first to help you visualize the path of the jogger. 
You are given 0.5 miles north (which will be the height of the right triangle), and 1.3 miles (which will be the hypotenuse of the triangle). 
Using Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c², we have:
0.5² + b² = 1.3²
b = 1.3²-0.5²
b = 1.2 miles

Answer:

The approximate height of the paint can is 8.2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the cylinder ( can of paint) is equal to

V=\pi r^{2} h

we have

V=231\ in^{3}

r=3\ in

\pi=3.14

Substitute the values and solve for h

231=(3.14)(3)^{2} h

h=231/(3.14*9)=8.2 in

Pls help me with this question.

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in y=mx+b format. The y is the final amount that you will have to pay. The m in this case is the amount of money that you are paying for each individual month (which is $34.99). The x in this case is the number of months you are paying for (which is 1). And b is the starting fee that you have to pay in order to get a membership in the first place (but will not have to pay after the first month). Thus, seeing as there is 1 month's worth of payment and a starting fee tagged on, y would equal the average total cost for the first month of a gym membership.

It just depends on how much tax is where you live so for where I live tax is 7 cents for every dollar so if we do 66x7 we would get 462 cents and that all adds up to 4 dollars and 62 cents, enjoy.
