Answer:

a =12*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3.  The Pythagorean theorem states

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a  and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +21^2 = 27^2

a^2 +441 =729

Subtract 441 from each side

a^2 +441-441 = 729 -441

a^2 =288

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(288)

sqrt(xy) = sqrt(x)sqrt(y)

a = sqrt(144)sqrt(2)

a =12*sqrt(2)

Max is paid a salary of $225 a week plus %2.5 commission on his total sales. What was max's total sales for the week if he made
torisob [31]
So we know he made 4,650 of sales and we need 2.5% of that

First to find 2.5% of 4650 we could do 

x/4650 = 2.5/100 
 Cross multiply to get

100x = 11625
x = 116.25

So his salary for this week would be 225 + 116.25 = 341.25
