Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this problem by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The Pythagorean Theorem says:

One Leg ^ 2 + Another Leg ^ 2 = Hypotenuse ^ 2

<u>Note:</u> This theorem holds true for right triangles

This problem is in fact of a right triangle as said. So we use the theorem to find the other leg's length.

One Leg ^ 2 + Another Leg ^ 2 = Hypotenuse ^ 2

8^2 + Another Leg ^ 2 = 17^2

64 + Another Leg ^ 2 = 289

Another Leg ^ 2 = 289 - 64

Another Leg ^ 2 = 225

The other is the square root of 225, which is 15

The correct answer is B

Please help im not very sure what any of this means
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

∠JKH and ∠GHF

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>hey there,</em>

<em />

< Corresponding means "the angles which occupy the same relative position at each intersection where a straight line crosses two others. If the two lines are parallel, the corresponding angles are equal." The lines here are parallel so they are equal.

If you don't understand the meaning of the angles also, feel free to ask me about that too.

The two angles I listed are equal to equal to each other. When you look at the other options, they aren't equal, they might look less or more degrees.

If this won't be a multiple choice but short answer, try looking at angles that look similar and see if they would be able to match with the angle given. >

<u>Hope this helps! Feel free to ask anything else.</u>

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is
mestny [16]

Answer:

113.9 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given:

Base area of square pyramid (B) = 17 ft²

Height of pyramid (h) = 20.1 ft

==>Required:

Volume of the square pyramid (V)

==>Solution:

Using the formula ⅓*B*h, let's find the volume of the pyramid as follows by plugging in our values:

V = ⅓*17*20.1

V = 341.7/3

V= 113.9 ft³

Volume of the square pyramid = 113.9 ft³
