The question is incomplete:
17. Tonya's mother is 1.5 times as tall as Tonya was when she was 6. How tall is Tonya's mother? Use the correct number of significant digits.
The image with the information about Tonya's height is attached.
Answer:
68 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the information given, you can write the following expression:
x=1.5y
x=Tonya's mother height
y= Tony's height when she was 6
Also, you know from the table that Tonya's height when she was 6 was 45 in. and you can replace this value in the formula:
x=1.5*45
x=67.5
Because of this, the answer is that Tonya's mother height is 68 in.

This trend line shows a general pattern, and since we are with biological samples this trend line will not always be true. The outliers could be from either a genetic difference or an environmental difference that occured in the persons life.
Answer: 35 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
hypotenuse = 5*y in
cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in
cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in
The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:
5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76
5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76
We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.
The shorter leg is x + 3, then:
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
Then we have the equations:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.
x = 5*y - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20
x = 5*y - 20
Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76
15*y - 40 + 13 = 76
15*y - 29 = 76
15*y = 76 + 29 = 105
and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:
3*(5*y) = 105
5*y = 105/3 = 35
5*y = 35
Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.
