You can solve this since you can develop 3 equations for your 3 unknowns. Each equation is made using the Pythagorean theorem:

1) x^2 = y^2 + 16^2
2) z^2 = y^2 + 4^2
3) (16 + 4)^2 = z^2 + x^2

Simplifying the above we get:

1) x^2 = y^2 + 256
2) z^2 = y^2 + 16
3) 400 = z^2 + x^2

We want to solve for z. There are several ways but an easy one is with substitution. Start by rearranging 2) and 3) like this:

2’) y^2 = z^2 - 16
3’) x^2 = 400 - z^2

Now we have expressed x and y in terms of z. Plug these values into the unused equation, 1), to solve for z:

1’) 400 - z^2 = z^2 - 16 + 256
2z^2 = 160
z^2 = 80
z = √80
z = √(16)(5)
z = 4√5

Store A is selling clothes for 20% off. Store B advertises low prices without needing to give sales. A coat you want is sold at
Cloud [144]

Answer: I think the answer is b

Step-by-step explanation:

20% off means that there is 80% on which means you pay that 80% so you move the decimal point two spots

80.0% to .80 and multiply store a’s price of 59.99 to get 47.992 round the two in the decimal down making the total price for store a 47.99 and total price for store b 49.99 so store a is the better price by two dollars

Determine whether the polynomial is a difference of squares and if it is, factor it.
GREYUIT [131]
Remember these three formulas (really, learn these by heart):

{(a + b)}^{2}  =  a^{2} + 2ab +  b^{2}

{(a - b)}^{2} = a^{2} - 2ab + b^{2}

(a + b)(a - b) = a^{2} - b^{2}

The stated formula is a manifestation of the last of these three. So indeed,

(y + 15)(y - 15) = y^{2} - 225

5x-1=15x-101 equation
sladkih [1.3K]
5x - 1 = 15x - 101
101 - 1 = 15x - 5x
100 = 10x
100/10 = x
x = 10

How this has been solved is by bringing the equations with (x) to one side and solving them and solving the other numbers on the other side..

On a mountain, the temperature decreases by 18°F every 5000 feet. What integer represents the change in temperature at 20,000 ft
attashe74 [19]
<span>To find this answer, use multiples. For every 5000 feet ascended, deduct 18 degrees. For 20,000 feet, which is (4 * 5000), use (4 * -18). In this case, the answer is -72 degrees F, so the integer described would be -72.</span>
