What does the and 2 mean? Does it mean times two or plus two?
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the base = 8
Length of the hypotenuse = 17
The length of the third side ''
".
Using Pythagoras theorem, we have
(Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)²
+ (8)² = (17)²
+ 64 = 289
= 289 - 64
= 225
= 
= 
Therefore, the length of the missing side is .
(15)² + (8)² = (17)²
225 + 64 = 289
289 = 289
L.H.S. = R. H. S.
Hence verified.
The third set is equivalent to
2x + y = 2
2x + y = -2
clearly inconsistent.
So, 30% is 0.30, but since you are taking off 30%, you are going to have 70% of the price which is 0.70. The word "of" lets you know that you are going to multiply. So, what you do is 150•0.70=105. The discounted price is $105
