Short Answer: D

Solution

Difference in weight = 8.68 - 6.2 = 2.48 pounds

%increase = x

6.2 * x/100 = 2.48                         Divide by 6.2 on both sides

(6.2 * x /100) ÷ 6.2 = 2.48 / 6.2    Simplify the left. Divide the right.

x / 100 = 0.4                                  Multiply both sides by 100

100 * x / 100 = 0.4 * 100                Combine

x = 40 %

Answer

The Puppy went up 40% in weight.

D because 6.2=100
6.2×1.4=8.68
so 100×1.4=140
140-100=40
so it's 40%

in right triangle ABC, angle C is a right angle, AB is 25 units long, and BC is 24 units long. What is the lenght of AC?
ycow [4]

Answer:

7 units long

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right triangle ABC

  • AB = 25 units
  • BC = 24 units

We are required to determine the length of AC

  • We are going to use the Pythagoras theorem;
  • According to the theorem, if a and b are the legs of a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse, then;

a² + b² = c²

In this case;

AB is the hypotenuse and BC is one of the legs of the triangle;

Therefore;

AB² = BC²+AC²

Rearranging the formula;

AC² = AB² - BC²

       = 25² - 24²

       = 625 - 576

       = 49

AC = √49

     = 7

Thus, AC is 7 units long

Does anyone know the answers to this algebra question? Will give brainiest
MaRussiya [10]
Option 1 : -22

using formula

(a + b )(a - b ) = a^2 - b^2

(√10 + 2√8) (√10 - 2√8)

= (√10)^2 - (2√8)^2

= 10 - 2×2×8=10-32

= -22

2nd question answer is option 3

Jimmy's school is selling tickets to the
natka813 [3]
Children’s tickets are $4, adult tickets are $14




Explanation:

4a+6c=80

If they made $4 more dollars on the second day than the first by selling one extra child ticket then we know a child’s ticket is $4 per ticket.


4a+6*4=80
4a+24=80
4a=56
14=a

So each adult ticket costs $14.


You can check by filling in $14 and $4 for each equation.


4*14+6*4=80

4*14+7*4=84
