Answer: 17 inches

Explanation: so we have a triangle with the two side lengths 8 and 15 and we’re trying to find the hypotenuse. so using the pythagorean theorem, we have 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2. when we solve we get 64 + 225 = c^2, which is 289 = c^2. next, we find the square root of both sides and c = 17 inches.

hope this helped!

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of the linear equation −x+8y=4
Andreyy89
First set the equation equal to y by adding x to each side, then divide everything by 8. then set x to zero and solve to find the y - intercept of 1/2 which is just 4/8 reduced. you get this answer because x/8 becoming 0/8 is just 0 leaving you with only 1/2. then reset the equation with x and set y to zero and solve for x to get the x- intercept of -4. you get this by subtracting 1/2 from both sides leaving you -1/2=x/8 and multiply by 8 to get -4=x
