Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Plug 15 in for b and 17 in for c

a^2+15^2=17^2

a^2+225=289

Subtract 225 on both sides

a^2=64

Take the square root of both sides

a=8

Hope this helped! :)

Answer: a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

use the equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = 17, b = 15

a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

a^2 + 225 = 289

a^2 = 64

a = 8

Suppose you know that ∠S and ∠Y are complementary, and that m∠S = 2(m∠Y) − 60°. Find m∠Y.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

m∠Y=50°

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that ∠S+∠Y=90 and that m∠S=2(m∠Y)-60.

If you plug those things into the equation, you get (2[m∠Y]-60)+m∠Y=90.

Then you multiply 2 and m∠Y: 2m∠Y-60+m∠Y=90.

Combine like terms: 3m∠Y-60=90.

Then you add 60 to both sides: 3m∠Y=150

Divide 3 on both sides: 3∠Y=50

Garage A charges $11 for the first 2 hours of parking there and then $3 per hour after the first 2 hours. Garage B charges $4 pe
laiz [17]

Answer: it would take 22 hours before you pay the same amount for both Garages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that you park at either Garage A or Garage B

Let y represent the total amount paid for x hours at Garage A

Let z represent the total amount paid for x hours at Garage B

Garage A charges $11 for the first 2 hours of parking there and then $3 per hour after the first 2 hours. This means that the total amount for x hours would be

y = 2 × 11 + 3x

y = 22 + 3x

Garage B charges $4 per hours. This means that the total amount for x hours would be

z = 4x

To determine the number of hours before the amount for both Garages becomes the same, we would equate y to z. It becomes

22 + 3x = 4x

4x - 3x = 22

x = 22
