I believe the answer is 19.2 because you would have to do paythag. = a^2+b^2=c2 in this case it would be 7^2 + 10^2 = c
From there you would get the answer of 149, and you would have to square root it. When you square root 149 you get 12.2
12.2 + 7 = 19.2
You would add them together because you want to know the height before it broke.
Answer:
x=3 y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=2
2x+y=8
Substitute y=2 into the second equation
2x+2=8
Subtract 2 from each side
2x+2-2=8-2
2x=6
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 =6/2
x=3
x=3 y=2
Is there a passage before this, I think you need that in order to answer the question.
