Cindy is 72 inches long. Imagine it like a right triangle. Her shadow is the base, she is the side, and the distance between her head and the end of the shadow is the diagonal line connecting the two. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find how tall cindy is.
a²+b²=c² a=21, the length of the shadow
b= ? cindy's height
c= 75, the distance from her head to the edge of the shadow
21²+ b²=75²
441 +b² = 5625
-441 -441
------ -------
0 5184
b² = 5184
√b² =√5184
b= 72
hope it helps
Times bottom equation by 3 and top by 2 to get the same coefficient of x
6x-6y=60
6x+3y=33
Minus the bottom by the top
-9y=27
y=-3
substitute this in to one of the equations
2x -3 = 11
add 3 to both sides
2x=14
x=7
Answer:
A. square root of a^2 + b^2 for both answers
Step-by-step explanation:
The first problem, we are given
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
What we do is solve for c.
sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = c
c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)
For problem 2,
WE can apply the Pythagorean theorem because we have a right triangle.
The equations is
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 like the first problem
Solving gets us
sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = c
c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)
Cost of the lawnmower bought by Sarah = $320
Amount of down payment made by Sarah = $100
Amount paid by Sarah in 12 months = (12 * 25) dollars
= 300 dollars
Total amount paid by Sarah = (300 + 100) dollars
= 400 dollars
Excess amount paid as interest by Sarah = (400 - 320) dollars
= 80 dollars
Actual yearly rate of interest paid by Sarah = (80/320) * 100 percent
= 25 percent
So 25% yearly interest was paid by Sarah. The correct option is option "C".
