Hey there! I'm not sure what method your teacher would be looking for but my first thought would be using the Pythagorean theorem! 

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where a and b are the legs while c is the hypotenuse

In this case the diagonal would be the hypotenuse so you could plug that in for c and the width is one of the legs so you can plug that in too.
a^2 + 15^2 = 25^2

Then 
a^2 +225 = 625

Then 
a^2 = 400

Then 
a = 20

Now you know the width and length (15 and 20). So you can multiply both of them to get the area. So you answer is 300!!! 

I hope that helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

The equation of motion for a particle in meters at time t seconds is s(t)=sin(pi(t)/6)+cos(pi(t)/6), 0 is less then/equal to t i
Trava [24]
S(t) = sin(πt/6) + cos(πt/6)
Velocity = s'(t) = π/6 (cos(πt/6) - sin(πt/6))

When velocity = 0
cos(πt/6) - sin(πt/6) = 0
cos^2(πt/6) -2cos(πt/6) sin(πt/6) + sin^2(πt/6) = 0
1 - 2cos(πt/6) sin(πt/6) = 0
1 - sin(πt/3) = 0
sin(πt/3) = 1
πt/3 = arcsin(1) = π/2
t = 1.5

acceleration = s''(t) = -(π/6)^2 (cos(πt/6) + sin(πt/6))
s''(1.5) = -(π/6)^2 (cos(π/4) + sin(π/4)) = -(π/6)^2 (2/√2) = -0.3877
accerelation = -0.3877 meter/s^2

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the two points.<br> (1.8, -3.4) and (-0.4, 1.4)
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

(0.7, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates for the midpoint you add each coordinate together and divide by 2.

M = (\frac{1.8 - 0.4}{2},  \frac{-3.4 + 1.4}{2})

M = (\frac{1.4}{2}, \frac{-2}{2})

M = (0.7, -1)

Alfredo has different colored spiral notebooks in his backpack. Which of the following models could be used to simulate a 1 in 3
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

the fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

Probability of choosing a red spiral = number of red spiral / total sum of spirals in the bag

1st option = 2 / 4 = 1/2

2nd option = 4/8 = 1/2

3rd option = 2/3

4th option = 2/6 = 1/3

the fourth option is correct

Estimate the question<br><br> 19.9×5.8≈
ankoles [38]

Hello :D

To work this out you need to round the numbers to a whole number.

19.9 = 20

5.8 = 6

20 x 6 ≈ 120

I hope this helps :)
