Let X represent the length of the chord.

By using Pythagoras' Theorem:

4^2 + (X/2)^2 = 15^2

(X^2)/4 = 209

X^2 = 836

X = 28.91

10 lbs/$12= 1 lb/x dollars.
If you rewrite it up and down and not slanted, it would be clearer to understand, but anyways, you cross multiply:
12*1=12
12/10= 1.2
So the answer is 1.2, if you put it on that bubble sheet, put 1, then a decimal, after the decimal 2, and then all 0's,.
