Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. A and B stand for the legs of the triangle while C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. With this information, you can plug in the numbers into the formula to discover the length of C. You can plug in 48 for either A or B since it is the only leg you know the value of, and then you plug in 50 for C since you know it is the hypotenuse. So, you get 48^2 + b^2 = 50^2. Now to find the value of the unknown leg, b, you just simplify the equation. 48^2= 2304 and 50^2= 2500. So you get 2304 + b^2 = 2500. Then, to isolate b^2 you subtract 2304 from both sides of the equation. 2500-2304 equals 196, so you get b^2 = 196. Lastly, you square root both sides of this equation to get b = 14.

Answer:

14 is the length of the missing side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem.

$48^{2}+b^{2}=50^{2}$

$2304+b^{2}=2500$

$\sqrt{b^{2}}=\sqrt{196}$

$b=14$

Can someone graph this? I'll give brainliest.

It's nice of you to offer, but no thanks.

To correctly graph this, you need to set up a simple equation and table of values. Luckily, this equation is dead-simple; I'll define y as the total cost and x as the number of water bottles sold.

$y=1.5x$

Since 1.50$ is the cost for one bottle, multiplying that with your variable that defined the amount of bottles, x, gets you the total, y. Now that we have a basic equation, we can begin plugging in values.

Recall that a function is basically just something that takes in a value and returns another one; in our case, it takes the amount of bottles and returns the total cost. Now, plug in the x-values present on the graph (specifically only whole numbers, since you can't have a half bottle). I can't make a proper table but I'll make do.

Great, now that you have a table of values all you have to do is plug them into the graph, which I've attached. It's pretty crude since I drew it in mspaint but I'm sure you get the point at this point.
