A right-angled triangle has sides of lengths (x + 5) cm, (x - 3) cm and 9 cm.

I’m assuming that 9cm is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
By using Pythagorean’s theorem
α²+b²=c²
in this case, c =9
So, (x+5)² + (x-3)² =(x+5)(x+5) + (x-3)(x-3)
=x²+5x+5x+25+x²-3x-3x+9
=2x²+4x+31=81
And by solving the equation, you get two x values, but since you can’t have x as a negative figure, the positive figure being 3.9498, x=3.95 (corrected to 3 significant figures)

Assuming a normal distribution, families spends an average of $500 on their monthly cell phone bills with a standard deviation o

The probability is 0.69.

We find the z-scores that correspond with each end of the range we're looking for.  To find a z-score, we use the formula:
z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}&#10;\\&#10;\\=\frac{350-500}{75}=\frac{-150}{75}=-2

z=\frac{400-500}{75}=\frac{-100}{75}=-1.33

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that the area under the curve left of the score 350 would be 0.228.  The area under the curve left of the score 400 would be 0.918.  To find just the range between 350 and 400, we subtract the area left of 350 from the area left of 400; this will give us just from 350 to 400:

0.918-0.228 = 0.69.
