Use Pythagorean Theorem. 

15^2+b^2=17^2.

First is exponents.
225+b^2=289

Next get b^2 by itself.
b^2=64

The square root of 64 is 8.

I hope this helps you



AC^2+AB^2=BC^2


15^2+AB^2=17^2


AB^2=17^2-15^2


AB^2=8^2


AB=8

To rent a certain meeting room a college charges a reservation fee of $43 an additional fee of $8.70 per hour. The history club
Gekata [30.6K]

We have an initial value of $43 and every hour the price of the reservation increases $8.70, then, the function that determinates the price for the meeting room is

P(t)=43+8.7t

The history club have a limit value that is $77.80, then, to find the amount of hours they can spend at the meeting room we just need to solve the following inequality:

77.8\ge43+8.7t

Solving for t:

\begin{gathered} 77.8\ge43+8.7t \\ 34.8\ge8.7t \\ 4\ge t \end{gathered}

The maximum amount of hours they can spend in the meeting room is 4 hours.

What is the value of log0.5 16 (0.5 is the small bottom number)<br>-4.00<br>-0.25<br>1.51<br>2.41
eduard

we are given

log_0_._5(16)

Firstly, we will factor out 16

16=2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2

16=2^4

we can write it as

16=(\frac{1}{2})^{-4}=(0.5)^{-4}

we can replace it as

log_0_._5(16)=log_0_._5((\frac{1}{2})^{-4})

now, we can use property of log

log_a(b^n)=nlog_a(b)

we get

log_0_._5(16)=-4log_0_._5(0.5)

log_0_._5(16)=-4\times 1

log_0_._5(16)=-4.............Answer
