Right triangle ACB has side lengths c = 17 inches and a = 8 inches

Mathematics

Tasya [4]3 years ago

A²+b²=c²

Where a=leg, b=base, and c=hypotenuse.

So, because we are given the side lengths of c and a, we simply plug everything in, and try to find b.

a²+b²=c²

8² + b² = 17²

Simplify.

64 + b² = 289

Subtract 64 from both sides.

b² = 289 - 64

Simplify.

b² = 225

b = \sqrt{225}

So, b = 15 inches

~Hope I helped!~

Marina spent $13.50 at the grocery store. She bought pears, kiwis, and pineapples. Pears cost $0.50 each, pineapples cost $1.50
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Number of pineapples = 10

Number of pears = 10 + 9 = 19

Number of kiwis = 10 - 2 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Money = $ 13.5

Cost of a pear = $ 0.5

Cost of a pineapple = $ 1.5

Cost of a kiwi = $ 0.3

let the number of pineapple = p  

Number of pears = p + 9

Number of kiwis = p - 2

Cost is

0.5 (p + 9) + 0.15 p + 0.3 (p - 2) = 13.5

0.5 p + 4.5 + 0.15 p + 0.3 p - 0.6 = 13.5  

0.95 p = 9.6

p = 10

So, number of pineapples = 10

Number of pears = 10 + 9 = 19

Number of kiwis = 10 - 2 = 8
