Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The first job is to find the diagonal along the bottom. Pretend that the sides and top do not exist for just a moment.

Givens

It becomes a Pythagorean problem.

a = 12

b = 9

c = ?

Solution

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

144 + 81 = c^2

c^2 = 225

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(225)

c = 15

Remark

Now you look at the diagram again, a little more closely this time.

The diagonal that you want is from the lower right to the upper closest left.

c = 15

d = 8

e = ?

e^2 = c^2 + d^2

e^2 = 15^2 + 8^2

e^2 = 225 + 64

e^2 = 289

e = 17

The shipping box is large enough

Note

There is one think you can note

You can do this entire problem in one step

a = 12       b = 9     c= 8

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = diagonal from lower right to upper left^2

12^2 + 9^2 + 8^2 = diagonal^2

144 + 81 + 64 = diagonal ^2

289 = diagonal^2

diagonal = 17 just as it did before.

For an annual membership fee of $500,Mr.Bailey can join a country club that would allow him to play a round of golf for $35. Wit
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

25 rounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of rounds of golf

y ---> total charges to play

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or unit rate

b is the y-intercept or initial value

<em>Membership</em>

y=35x+500 ----> equation A

The slope is  m=$35 per round

The y-intercept b=$500 (annual membership fee)

<em>Non-Membership</em>

y=55x ----> equation B

The slope is  m=$55 per round

The y-intercept b=$0

Equate equation A and equation B

55x=35x+500

solve for x

55x-35x=500

20x=500

x=25\ rounds

For x=25 rounds the cost to be the same with and without a membership
