The problem is using a right triangle, it means we can use the Pythagorean theorem in solving the problem. We have two possible measurements for the third side.
First length, when the third side is the hypotenuse:
x ² = 15² + 12²
x = 19.21
Second possible length, when the third leg is either an adjacent or base side:
15² = x² + 12²
x = 9
Therefore, the difference between the two possible answers are shown below:
Difference = 19.21 - 9 = 10.21
Answer:
X=375 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three 'x's on the 3/4 spot, so you know that there are three 3/4 inch buttons.
To find how long they are lined up, you add them.
3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 = 9/4
9/4 as a mixed number is 2 1/4.
Good luck!
