Remark

This is just the Pythagorean Theorem

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Givens

a = 12

b = ??

c = 20

Solve

12^2 + b^2 = 20^2         Square 12 and 20

144 + b^2 = 400             Subtract 144 from both sides.

b^2 = 400 - 144          

b^2 = 256                      Take the square root of both sides

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(256)

b = 16 <<<< Answer

Using the Pythagorean Theorem we can solve.


20^2 - 12^2 = X^2

400 - 144 = X^2

256 = X^2

X = √256

X = 16 feet.


The answer is D.

Answer:

48 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to make two right triangles.

Ex= Base is cut in half to make two 9 unit bases

Then count the units from the half point.

Ex= 12 units long

Then use Pythagorean theorem to find one side of the 9-12 right triangle

Ex= 9^2+12^2=c^2

After finding that c=15 units, add all the sides back together

Ex= 18+15+15=48

For a club gathering you were having, you bought a total of 50 burgers, and spent $90. You paid $2 per turkey burger, and $1.50
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>No. You would have to cut the number of veggie burgers in more than half.</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Model the situation with a system of equations</u>

<u />

<u>a) Name the variables:</u>

  • number of turkey burgers: t
  • number of veggie burgers: v

<u />

<u>b) Number of burgers:</u>

  • 50 = t + v

<u />

<u>c) Cost of the 50 burgers:</u>

  • $90 = 2t + 1.50v

<u>2. Solve that system of equations:</u>

<u />

<u>a) System</u>

  • 50 = t + v
  • 90 = 2t + 1.50v

<u>b) Mutliply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second equation</u>

  • 100 = 2t + 2v
  •  90 = 2t + 1.50v

  • 10 = 0.5v
  • v = 20 ⇒ t = 50 - 20 = 30

<u />

<u>c) How much would you spend if the next year you buy the double of 20 turkey burgers (40) and the half of 30 veggie burgers (15)</u>

  • $2(40) + $1.50(15) = $80 + $22.50 = $102.50

Then, you if you double the number of turkey burgers, and cut the number burgers in half, you would spend more than $90 ($102.50).
