I'm assuming that the figure formed in this problem is a right angle. Thus, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the distance or the hypotenuse.

Length = 20 meters
Height = 16 meters

a² + b² = c²

(20m)² + (16m)² = c²
400m² + 256m² = c²
656m² = c²
√656m² = √c²
25.61 m = c

The distance is 25.61 meters.

Given that this loan is 75% of purchase price of the new home.

We are required to to determine the amount paid for the home.

Let the amount paid for the home be x

\begin{gathered} From\text{ the information given, } \\ 75\text{ \% of x = 90,000} \\ \frac{75}{100}x=90,000 \\ 0.75x=90,000 \\ x=\frac{90000}{0.75} \\ x=120,000 \end{gathered}

The amount she paid for the home is $120,000 (Dollars)

Geometry math question no Guessing and Please show work thank you
Leni [432]

two sides are 3 and 6

since triangle is isosceles , the third side can be either 3 or 6

In a triangle , sum of two sides > third side

checking for third side=3 we have {3,3,6}

3+3>6, 6>6 ( false)

checking for third side =6 , we have (3,6,6)

3+6>6 , 9>6 ( true)

6+6>3, 12>3 (true)

so the third side must be 6

Option C. 6 is the correct answer
