Use the Pythagorean theorem!
This principle applies to any right triangles.
This states the relationship between the sides that
(7)² + (24)² = x²
All you have to do is simplify at this point.
49 + 576 = x²
625 = x²
√ √
x = 25
You should try to memorize this right triangle. It can be very helpful in fast questionnaires, such as the SAT.
8 is greater than or equal to x
(where x = the number of tickets)
or x is less than or equal to 8
48 books divided by 7 books per box. So since 7 can go into 48 6 times to make 42, the remainder is 6 books are left out. 6 boxes are filled. I interpreted the remainder by subtracting 42 from 48. And that's all I did. :)
I hope you like this answer and have a good night! :D
