Answer:

  a) 14√5 feet

  b) about 31.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The 42-ft hose is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg 28 ft. We are asked to find the other leg. The Pythagorean theorem is useful.

  h² +(28 ft)² = (42 ft)²

  h² = (1764 -784) ft² = 980 ft²

  h = √(196·5) ft

  h = 14√5 ft

__

b) The approximate height is ...

  14√5 ≈ 31.305, about 31.3 feet

The average price (in dollars) to rent a studio in a certain city can be approximated by the equation p=28.2t+644 where t is the
egoroff_w [7]

p = 28.2t + 644\\\\p-644 = 28.2t\\\\\frac{p-644}{28.2} = \frac{28.2t}{28.2}\\  \\t = \frac{p-644}{28.2}

t = \frac{1320.80-644}{28.2} \\\\t = 24

It will take 24 years.

If the answer is D. the equation to represent the ages of students is:
n + n+1 + n+2 = 45
it is showing that  n is the age of one student and the other student has age one year more than the first one and third students has age of 2 years more than first student and one year greater than the second student. if we solve this equation for the value of n, we get;
3n + 3 = 45
3n = 45 -3
3n = 42
n = 14
so the age of one student is 14, second student 15 and third student 16 years.
and if we add there ages, 14 + 15 + 16 = 45
