Hyp^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2
hyp^2 -leg1^2 = leg2^2
17^2 - 8^2 = leg2^2
leg2^2 = 289 -64
leg2^2 = 225
leg2 = 15
1.5km = 1500m
To find the percentage take 15 and divide it by 1500, then times by 100
15/1500 x 100 = 1%
Answer:
sqrt(277) =x
x is approximately 16.64331698
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle since 14 is tangent to the circle and 9 is a radius
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem
a^2 +b^2 =c^2
9^2+14^2 =x^2
81+196 = x^2
277 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(277) = sqrt(x^2)
sqrt(277) =x
I think the answer is x = -4.
The percentage of votes claimed by Adam is 53.62 %
