Answer: the height of the television screen is 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the rectangular television screen is shown in the attached photo. The rectangle is labelled as ABCD. The diagonal forms a right angle triangle, ABC. This means that angle B is 90 degrees. The height it labelled as h. To determine h, we will apply Pythagoras theorem. Pythagoras theorem is expressed as

Hypotenuse ^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2

From the diagram,

hypotenuse = 29 inches

Adjacent = 21 inches. Therefore,

29^2 = 21^2 + h^2

h^2 = 29^2 - 21^2 = 841 - 441

h = √400

h = 20 inches

Answer:17

Step-by-step explanation:Follow pemdas.

Start with parentheses which is (5+2) which gives you 7.

Now next in Pemdas is Exponents. SO do 2 to power of 2 which is 4 .Then do 3 to  the power of 3  which is 27.Next add 4 to 27 which is 31.so now do 7 times 2 is 14.Then take 31 and subtarct it from 14 which gives you 17.

Look at pic to see clearly how it was solved and the steps. I color code it to show the steps.

John sales model boats from a booth at a local fair. He purchases each model boat from a distributor for five dollars and the lo
poizon [28]

Answer and explanation:

Profit from sale of model boats = Sales -costs(costs of goods purchases + expenses or charges by the local fair)

John's profit from the sale of model boats can be represented by the equation:

P= 50x-(5x+80)

Where P is profit from the sale of the model boats and x is number of model boats bought and sold. The 80 is constant as it is a fixed cost paid to the local fair.

For example if John buys and sells 20 model boats, he would make profit of:

Substitute x=20 in equation above

P= 50×20-(5×20+80)

P=1000-180

P=$820

It could be said that John is in a very profitable business and his profit is also dependent on volume of sales because the lower his sales the closer he gets to making a loss and not profit
