In Houston, Texas, it is 92 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature is expected to drop 2.5 degrees each hour. In Chicago, Illinois,
it is 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperature is expected to drop 1 degree each hour. Which inequality shows the number of hours, x, it will take for the temperature in Chicago to be greater than the temperature in Houston? A. 92 – 2.5x > 80 – x
I think you'd use the pythagoran theorem for this (a squared + b squared = c squared). So 30 squared plus 22 squared equals the diagonal measure squared. This is 900 + 484 = c squared. That's 1384. The square root of that is 37.
