The answer is E because 12²
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're looking for direct correlation, you're looking for a proportion for the second box. So you set the ratio of 2.5:5.5 up as a fraction. 2.5/5.5 and set it equal to the second box 3/x.
2.5 = 3
5.5 x
cross multiply
16.5=2.5x
and divide
16.5/2.5 and you get your answer
Since he’s already at -15, if he writes a check for 7 then he’s subtracting more from his account.
So, -15-7=-22
Answer:
82 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive even integers is 2, thus
let the legs be n and n + 2
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
n² + (n + 2)² = 58² ← expand and simplify left side
n² + n² + 4n + 4 = 3364 ( subtract 3364 from both sides )
2n² + 4n - 3360 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )
n² + 2n - 1680 = 0 ← in standard form
(n + 42)(n - 40) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 42 = 0 ⇒ n = - 42
n - 40 = 0 ⇒ n = 40
But n > 0 ⇒ n = 40
and n + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42
Thus sum of legs = 40 + 42 = 82 inches
