Leah needs to buy some apples from the grocery store. She places fifteen apples in her cart and proceeds to the checkout. Lucky for her, there happens to be a discount on apples for the day. She saves $25 on her purchase. The total money she ends up spending was only $35 (excluding tax). How much did each apple cost?
Answer:
5 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate 9 to the power of 2 and get 81
Add 44 and 81 to get 125
Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25
Divide 125 by 25 to get 5
So, this creates a triangle once again. If we imagine a slide, the slide itself would be the hypotenuse of the triangle, then if there's a ladder leading up to the slide, that would be the vertical length we're looking for. The feet across the ground would be the distance from the bottom of the slide to the bottom of the ladder.
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side length, as this would create a right triangle. | 8^2 + b^2 = 10^2 | 64 + b^2 = 100 | b^2 = 36 | b = 6 feet | The slide is 6 feet high at its highest point.
