The length of x is option 1. 24.8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
We determine the value of the base for the right triangle first.
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Assume the base of the right triangle is y.
The hypotenuse measures 18 units while the other sides are 13 units and y units.
Step 2:
According to the Pythagorean theorem,


So y equals 12.44 units but as y is only the base length for one of the triangles,

Rounding off 24.88 we get 24.9 which is closest to 24.8.So the length of x is option 1. 24.8.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider a group of 1 dime and 2 nickels. The value of it is 0.20. The total value of all such groups is 3.20, so there must be ...
3.20/0.20 = 16 . . . . . groups of coins
That is, there are 16 dimes and 32 nickels.
Is this problem is about solving for h? If it is, here is the answer:
2-2n=3n+17
2= 5n+17
0= 5n+15
-15= 5n
-3= n
