Answer:

134.4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking us for a missing leg on the triangle, lets call it x. Using the Pythagorean theorem (a²+b²=c²), we can figure out what value is missing (either a or b, they are interchangeable).

replace the values in the equation.

83²+x²=158²

get rid of the exponents.

6,889+ x² = 24,964.

subtract 6,889 from 24,964.

x²=18,075.

find the square root on both sides of the equation.

x=134.4432966.

I am assuming you want this rounded to the nearest tenth.

134.4 is your answer.

torisob [31]
The correct answer for the given problem above would be option B. Fran must work 17 hours per week to meet her goal. Why? According to the given details above, Fran works 15 hours per week for $225 which makes it $15 per hour. If she adds another 2 hours per week to make it 17 hours, then she will earn $255 dollars per week. Now, since she is saving $40 dollars plus the two hours which is $30, a total of $70 per week of savings, multiplied by 20 weeks, then, she will be able to get $1,400.
