Answer:

B - 150 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously the first step is to find the missing measurement. To do this, you use the Pythagorean theorem; <em>a² + b² = c².</em>

In this case, let's label the the missing side A, the height B, and the hypotenuse C.

<em>X² + 15² = 25²</em>

Then you must figure out what 15² and 25².

<em>15² = 225</em>

<em>25² = 625</em>

The next step is to subtract 15² (225) from 25² (625), which will give you the result of X².

<em>625 - 225 = 400. </em>

Now you know X² = 400, you can find the square root of 400 to give you the length of the triangle.

<em>√400 = 20.</em>

<u>The missing length of the triangle is 20 yards. </u>

Now it's just a matter of finding the area by using the formula;

<em>A = </em>\frac{bh}{2}

Or,

<em>(20 × 15) ÷ 2 = 150.</em>

<u>And there's your answer. Don't forget to add the units.</u>

Round 0.578 to the nearest tenth
Deffense [45]

0.578 rounded to the nearest tenth would be 0.6, since the 7 in the hundredths spot is higher than 5.
