Answer:

b = 9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2 + b ^2 = c^2

Given:

a = 12

b = ?

c = 15

Plug in values:

12^2 + b^2 = 12^2

Solve for b^2:

b^2 = 15^2 - 12^2

b^2 = 225 - 144

b^2 = 81

Take square root of both sides to find b:

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(81)

b = 9


Hope this helps! :)

Find the missing dimension.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the area and the lengths of the two parallel sides of this trapezoid are given:

A = 7m^2, b1 = 3 m and b2 = 4 m.  What's missing is the width of the trapezoid.

First we write out the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

       b1 + b2

A = --------------- * w, where w represents the width of the figure.

             2

We need to solve this for the width, w.  Multiplying both sides of the above equation by

     2

------------

b1 + b2

results in

 2A

------------ = w

b1 + b2

Substituting 7 m^2 for A, 3 m for b1 and 4 m for b2 results in

        2(7 m^2)           14 m^2

w = ------------------ = ---------------- = 2 m

        (3 + 4) m             7 m

The missing dimension is the width of the figure.  This width is 2 m.

John paid $450 for a new mountain bicycle to sell in his shop. He wants to price it so that he can offer a 10% discount but stil
Ghella [55]

Answer:

$643.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let i be the profit realized from the sale and d be the discount made on the sale:

#John's selling price can be calculated by first adding profit, i to $450, the d to the new price as:

P_n=P_o(1+i)+d[P_o(1+i)]\\=450(1+0.3)+0.1[450(1+0.3)]\\\\\\=450\times 1.3+0.1(450\times1.3)\\\\=585+58.5\\\\=643.50

Hence, John will resell the bike at $643.50

Charra [1.4K]

Please look at the screenshot below, for some reason Brainly won't let me post my answer.

What I mean about "not fully written" is its impartial. It didn't ask us something like "find how many bracelets she needs to sell"
