We need to solve the each side as though it is the hypotenuse:
AB: 6^2 + 5^2 = 61 => 7.81
BC: 8^2 + 5^2 = 89 => 9.43
CD: 4^2 + 3^2 = 25 => 5
DE: 4^2 + 2^2 = 20 => 4.47
EA: 2^2 + 5^2 = 29 => 5.39
Total 32.10 Units
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract
18
from both sides
Simplify
3
Subtract
2x
from both sides
You will want to use:
f(x)=3+2x
x equals the amount of weeks, with the multiple of 2 for 2 inches per week, and the 3 is the starting height.
Hope this helps!
