Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Simply use triangles to find the length of the lasers.

The first triangle consists of the sides of 12 inches, 18 inches, and the laser (which is the hypotenuse).

Use the <u>Pythagorean theorem</u> to solve for the hypotenuse.

(a^{2}+ b^{2} = c^{2})

12^{2} +18^{2} = l^{2} \\\\144 + 324 = l^{2} \\\\468 = l^{2} \\\\Square-root-both-sides\\\\\ \\\sqrt{468} = l

l ≈21.633

Now, we solve the other triangle.

9^{2} +6^{2} = l^{2} \\\\81 + 36 = l^{2} \\\\117 = l^{2} \\\\Square-root-both-sides\\\\\sqrt{117} =l\\l = 10.8167

Now, add those two hypotenuses.

21.6333 + 10.8167 = 32.45

32.45 rounds up to 32.5

32.5 is the total distance the laser beam travels.

Answer:

D) b = \frac{S-2ac}{2a + 2c}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, move all the terms that do not include b to the left side with S:

S = 2ab + 2bc + 2ac

S - 2ac = 2ab + 2bc

Now, factor out 2b from the right side:

S - 2ac = 2b(a + c)

Divide both sides by 2(a + c):

b = \frac{S-2ac}{2(a + c)}

Finally, multiply out the denominator:

b = \frac{S-2ac}{2a + 2c}

Miss Kendrick plans to buy a laptop for $1345 in 12 weeks she has already saved $145 how much did she save each week so that she
enyata [817]

Answer: $100

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>LET,</em>

Total Amount needed by MISS KENDRICK = 'X' = $1345

Amount which is already saved by MISS KENDRICK = 'Y' = $145

Number of weeks for the purchase = 'Z' = 12

<em>Now,</em>

AMOUNT needed to be saved each week = \frac{X-Y}{Z}

By Substituting the values in the equation, we get

AMOUNT needed to be saved each week = \frac{1345-145}{12}

                                                                       = \frac{1200}{12}

                                                                       = $100.
