Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c².
a and b are the leg lengths and c is the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the three, so you know the hypotenuse is 7 cm.

We'll make 2 cm = a, and the third side = b.
Plug these into the formula.

2² + b² = 7²
4 + b² = 49
b² = 45
Square root b and 45 to find the length of the third side.

√b = √45
b = 6.71

The third side is 6.71 centimeters.

A sandwich store charges a delivery fee to bring lunch to an office building. One office pays $33 for 4 turkey sandwiches. Anoth
shutvik [7]

Answer:

$12

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that the cost of delivery is constant irrespective of the number ordered

Let the cost of sandwich be x

First office

$33=4x+c where c is the cost of delivery

Second office

$61=8x+c

These two are simultaneous equation. Subtracting the equation of first office from the second office we obtain

4x=28

Therefore, x=28/4=7

The cost of delivery is 33-(4*7)=33-28=5

Therefore, one sandwich plus delivery costs 7+5=$12

The attendance at a baseball game was 400 people. Student tickets cost $2 and adult tickets cost $3. Total sales were $1050. How
S_A_V [24]
We know the total tickets sold = 400. Let x be the number of adult tickets sold. That means 400 - x is the number of student tickets. The revenue from adult tickets will be $3 * x, which we can call 3x. The revenue from student ticks will be $2 * (400 - x), or 800 - 2x. The total revenue is $1050, so that means: 3x + (800 - 2x) = 1050. Removing the parentheses: 3x + 800 - 2x = 1050 Subtracting 800 from both sides: 3x - 2x = 250 Simplifying the left side: x = 250, which is the number of adult tickets. 400-x = student tickets = 400-250 = 150. ALWAYS check! In this case, check the revenue: 3x = 3(250) = 750 2(150) = 300 750 + 300 = 1050. Check!
