Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must apply the Pythagorean Theorem, which is shown below:

a^{2}=b^{2}+c^{2}

Where a is the hypotenuse, and b and c are the legs of the triangle.

2. When you solve for one of the legs and substitute values, you obtain that the result is:

b=\sqrt{a^{2}-c^{2}}\\b=\sqrt{(24.8ft)^{2}-(8ft)^{2}}\\b=23.5ft

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:  C. 23.5 ft.

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since it's a right triangle, we can use the pythagoras theorem:

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

Where:

c=Hypotenuse\\a=side\\b=side

According to the image:

c=24.8ft\\a=8ft\\b=?

So, by substituting we have:

8^{2} + b^{2} = 24.8^{2}\\b^{2} =615.04-64\\b=\sqrt{551.04} \\b=23.47

So, the other side is equal to 23.47≅23.5 ft.

Have a nice day!

JulsSmile [24]

The first thing we need to do is find the rate of parts for 15 minutes.

So, we divide 114 parts per 6 minutes and get 19 parts per minute


Then we multiply this rate per minute by 15 minutes

The answer is 285
