9 is your answer.
Answer: A 13.4
Step-by-step
a^2 + b^2= c^2 4^2 + b^2 = 14^2 16+ b^2= 195 b^2= 180 b= square root of 180 b= 6 square root of 5 or 13.42
It would be 3.5 as you start with 56 then take away 16 =40 then another witch is 24 the another 16 Is 8 so you have taken e16 away so far that's 3 pound and because you can take a full 16 off that makes it a half so final awnser is 3.5 56-16=40-16=24-16=8=3 pounds and a half hope I have helped you in any way
To solve this, I would square root all of the possible answers and see which ones the arrow falls between. After that I would choose the answer closest to it.
Hope this helps!
