The answer is <span>b.12
</span>
According to the Pythagorean theorem the square of the hypotenuse (c) is the sum of the squares of the legs (a and b):
 c² = a² + b²

We have:
a = 3x
b = 15
c = 3x + 3

Now, let's replace these parameters:
c² = a² + b²
(3x + 3)² = (3x)² + 15²
(3x)² + 2 * 3x * 3 + 3² = 9x² + 225
9x² + 18x + 9 = 9x² + 225

Rearrange:
9x² - 9x² + 18x = 225 - 9
18x = 216
x = 216 / 18 = 12

Question 6 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Quantity A because it changes with gravitational pull.

Explanation:

Mass defines the constitutive matter of an object. It is immutable (does not change). Although it could be converted into energy, the matter is constant.

On the other hand, the weight of an object (gravitational force) depends on the acceleration due to gravity.

That is why an astronaut weighs about three times more on earth than on Mars. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is about one third that on earth.
