Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
There is actually no one ☝
Let the length of unknown side be x
So, hypotenuse = 2x + 1
By pythagorean theorem ie , a² = b² + c²
(2x + 1)² = x² + 15²
4x² + 1 + 4x = x² + 225
3x² + 4x -224
(3x +28)(x-8)
x = -9.33 , 8
Since, length can't be negative
x = 8
∴Unknown side length = 8 m
Length of hypotenuse = 2 x 8 + 1 = 17 m
Hope it helps now.
To find how long it would take him, one has to divide 400 by 160 and then multiply 5 by what that number is. You multiply 5 by the quotient because that is the number that would make it proportional. 400/160 x 5 is 12.5, meaning that the answer is 12.5 minutes, or A.
