Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +15^2 = 17^2

a^2 +225 = 289

Subtract 225 from each side

a^2 +225-225=289-225

a^2 = 64

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(64)

a = 8

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Mia take 1/4 and 1/10 hours to create a bracelet. This is 1/4 + 1/10 = 10/40 + 4/40 = 14/40 = 7/20.

It takes her a total of 7/20 hours to make the bracelet. She has 5 1/4 hours to work. To find the number of bracelets she can make divide 5 1/4 by 7/20.

Write first 5 1/4 as a mixed number. 21/4. Then rewrite it as multiplication with the reciprocal of 7/20 to divide fractions.

21/4 * 20/7 = 420/28 = 15

She will make 15 bracelets.

Can anyone help please?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

h(t) = -16t(t-6)

h(2) = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -16t² + 96t

h(t) = -16t(t-6)

t = 3

h(2) = -16(2)(2 - 6)

h(2) = 128

What is 3/22 step by step?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would see how many times 3 would go into 22 and it would be 7 with a remainder of 1. Then you would do 7 times 3 which is 21. And 22 minus 21 is 1. Then your answer would be 7 with a remainder of 1. If you don't want a remainder, and you want a decimal then you would add a decimal point after the 22 and then add a 0. You would bring down the zero and then  the remainder of one would be 10 then you would see how much 3 goes into 10, and it only goes 3 times. Your answer would be 7.3 with a remainder of 1, If you keep going you will see it becomes a repeating decimal. *Hope it helped*
