Answer:
13.3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
24² - 20² = d²
d = √(576 - 400) = √176 = 13.26649... ≈ 13.3 ft.
The word greatest in a word problem tells you to do GCF and the word least in a problem means to use the LCM
It doesn’t really matter which variable you isolate first but usually you would use the one that’s by itself already. like for example one of the equations was y = 8. you would already have your y solve for so you would just have to plug that in for y in the other equation. personally, i usually do x first unless one of the equations has either x or y by itself already. i think its easier to just do x first and then solve for y after that, but it just depends on what the equations are; sometimes it might be easier to just do y first. hope this helps!
