You plug in 2 for the w and do 17 minus 2 and then you divide that by 3 so ur answer is going to be 17-2 which is 15 and then divide 15 by 3 and you get 5
You may recognize that ∆WYZ is a 3-4-5 right triangle. Without any work, then
c = 5
_____
If you don't remember that a right triangle with legs 3 and 4 has a hypotenuse of 5, you can compute it using the Pythagorean theorem.
c² = 3² + 4²
c² = 9 + 16 = 25
c = √25 = 5
An easy way for me to do this is to either make all of the fractions into decimals or all the decimals into fractions, whatever you prefer. I prefer fractions, but for typing reasons I’m going to make them all decimals. Making 5/48 into a decimal you divide 5 by 48 and get 0.104... and divide 3 by 16 and get 0.1875. Then from there, look at whatever tenths place number is the least (the number after the decimal). Two of them have one, so moving onto the next number, 8>0, which means 0.104 is less then 0.1875. Then 5<7. So from least to greatest, 5/48 (0.104), 3/16 (0.1875), 0.5, 0.75.
Good Luck!
The last one is correct because 60+35+35+35=165
55+55+55=165
