Question

After school, Hugo helps out at a bunny shelter called Hoppy's Home. He cleans cages and feeds all 8 bunnies at the shelter. In addition to food pellets, each bunny also gets an equal number of baby carrots. Hugo feeds the bunnies a total of 24 baby carrots. Which equation can you use to find the number of baby carrots c each bunny gets?

Answer 1

Answer:

25.3

1_ draw a triangle

the shortest side is a which will be 8(bunnies)

diagonal will be c ( what you need to find )

the last side will be b.

so the equation is a2+b2=c2 ( 2=squared)

that means..... 8x8+24x24=c

8x8=64

24x24=576

then add

576+64=640

the find square root

√640=25.2982212813

simplify to 25.3

you know your answer is correct because c is always the biggest side
