The square's diagonal is the triangle's hypotenuse.
the original Pythagorean theorem is
where
a and
b are the two sides and
c is the hypotenuse.
that means the Pythagorean theorem for this question is:
or
Answer:
The simplified version of that equation would be 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 
and 
have the same exponent and variable, we can combine them normally.
- =
Let x be the total weekly sales.
His salary is $300/week + 1.8% (x), if he wants to earn $570, then:
300 + 1.8%(x) = 570
1.8%(x) = 270
0.018 (x) = 270
and x = 270/0.018 = $15,000
The answers to the question is A.
Jason: 5/7
Sara: 4/5
Think of it this way: if the total track is a mile, and Jason runs 5/7 of it, he has run 5/7 of a mile. Then Sara runs 4/5 OF 5/7, with "of" meaning "times," so she runs 4/5 x 5/7, which gives you 20/35, which simplifies to 4/7. You can also think of Sara's distance as 80 percent of Jason's. If she runs "80 percent of the sevenths that Jason ran," that means she ran 4 out of his 5 sevenths.
