The mess up occurs in one of the first things she says. She first claims that 7^2 +25^2 = 24^2
Wait a minute... slow your roll there.
25 is the hypotenuse, or the longest side of the triangle AND opposite the right angle (but we aren't supposed to know that yet).
The Pythagorean Theorem holds that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a & b are the legs of the triangle & c is the hypotenuse. So, she got the formatting correctly, but she switched 24 & 25.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
FBI building
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer is A I know this for a fact.
Step-by-step explanation:
First is to make equations for both sides.
Let x be the number of the miles.
a be the charge of the first company
b be the charge of the second
a=$35+$0.25(x), b=$40+$0.20(x) .
then a=b
Substitute the equations
$35+$0.25(x)=$40+$0.20(x)
$0.25x - $0.20x = $40 - $35
$0.05x = $5
x= $5/$0.05 , cancel out the unit.
x= 100
To justify substitute x to both the equations a and b.
a= 35 + 0.25(x)
a= 35 + 0.25(100)
a= 35 + 25
a= $60
b= 40 + 0.20(x)
b= 40 + 0.20(100)
b= 40 + 20
b= 60
a=b
60=60.
