Answer: D) 8

Work Shown:

32/24 = 2x/12

32*12 = 24*2x

48x = 384

x = 384/48

x = 8

Solve for x by plugging in values into Pythagorean theorem.
$a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}$
$x^{2} +(x+12)^{2} = 34^{2}$
Simplify
$2x^{2} + 24x+144 = 1156$
Subtract 144 from both sides
$2x^{2} + 24x = 1012$
divide both sides by 2
$x^{2} + 12x = 506$
complete the square
$x^{2} + 12x + 36 = 506 +36 . = (x+6)^2 = 542$
take the square root of both sides.
$x+6 = 23.28$
subtract by 6 to get about 17.28 for x.
Plug in values for x to get distance traveled on outside of the yard.
17.28 + (17.28 +12) = 46.56
subtract 34 from the length to get the difference in travel. 46.56-34=12.56

This is because the sum of the two smaller sides in a triangle has to be larger than the bigger sides. 10+12=22.
22 is smaller than 24 which is the third side this no triangle is formed

A survey found that 78% of students do their homework before 10:00 predict how many students out 975 do their homework before 10

GenaCL600 [577]

Hi Zahra, I've found a very simple and effective way of calculating percentages. 78% refers to 78 out of every 100, which can also be written as "0.78". Now, we can simply multiply 0.78 by your number (975) to get 760.5 students. Obviously, there isn't a half a student, so we round that number up to 761. So 761 out of 975 students do their homework before 10:00.
