Answer:
9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem
a² + b² = c²
Plug in the knowns
a² + 22² = 24²
Subtract 22² from both sides
a² = 24² - 22²
a² = 576 - 484
a² = 92
Take the square root of both sides
a = 9.591663046625438
Rounded
a = 9.6 ft
-27
9(4x – 15)
Substitute 3 for x
9((4)(3) - 15)
Multiply (4)(3) = 12
9 ( 12 - 15 )
Subtract 12 - 15 = -3
9(-3)
Multiply 9(-3) = -27
