Why is it difficult to find length of the hypotenuse the same way the length of the legs can be found?

It is difficult to find length that way because you still need that extra step where are apply the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs), which could use a lot of useless squaring, when you could do something clever instead.

Answer:

bc the length of the hypotenuse is the sum of the other two legs. thats why the equation is:  a^2(hypotenuse) = b^2  + c^2 (the other two legs)

lindsay bedford works at the baseball cap shop. she is paid $6.50 per hour plus $0.45 for each cap she embroiders. how many caps
crimeas [40]

15 caps are needed so that she can earn $85 in an 8hour day.

<h3>How is the direct equation calculated?</h3>

The direct variation equation has the form y = kx, where k is the constant proportionality. It is a linear equation with two variables. In a coordinate plane, the direct variation graph is a straight line. A constant is the ratio of two quantities that vary directly. Relationship between two variables that can be described mathematically by an equation where one variable equals a constant multiplied by the other.

For each hour she is compensated $6.50 with $0.45.

For an 8 hour day =6.50 *8 + 0.45x

Let x be the caps and earning is $85

6.50*8+0.45*x=85

=> 52+0.45x=85

=> 0.45x=33

=> x=15 (approx.)
