Answer:
Mike will only need 42 quarters to make 10.50
Step-by-step explanation:
A + b + c = 72
a = b - 1
c = b + 1
(b - 1) + b + (b + 1) = 72
Simplify
3b = 72
b = 24
a = 24 - 1
a = 23
It's the same as finding the hypothenuse of a right triangle. Let c be the hypothenuse.
30 squared+ 50 squared= c squared.
900+ 2500= c squared
3400= c squared
Then find the square root of 3400 and that will equal c.
So, depending in what form the teacher was the answer. The answer will be square root of 3400 ft squared or 58.3 ft squared.
