Answer:

$2.40

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sales tax is 8% , we also know that we want to buy two t shirts that cost $15.00 each.

So first, look at what we are purchasing, two t-shirts costing 15.00 dollars each.

Since we are buying two, multiply $15 by 2,

==> $30.00 dollars

And since the sales tax is 8%, to find how much we will pay will mean to multiply the amount by the percent,

30 * 8%

==> $2.40 dollars

You will pay $2.40 dollars in tax

Find x and decide if that side (with the x) is an Altitude

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

b = 15
c = 51
c = 100
b = 25.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem equation:

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

Where 'c' is the hypotenuse and 'b' and 'a' the sides of the right triangle.

1) Here c = 17, a = 8 and b = ?

Then, using the above equation we can find the side b.

$17^{2}=8^{2}+b^{2}$

$b=\sqrt{225}$

$b=15$

2) Here a = 24, b = 45 and c = ?

$c=\sqrt{24^{2}+45^{2}}$

$c=51$

3) Here a = 28, b = 96 and c = ?

$c=\sqrt{28^{2}+96^{2}}$

$c=100$

4) Here a = 17, b = ? and c = 28

$b=\sqrt{28^{2}-11^{2}}$

$b=25.75$

Just in the 4 case x is an altitude.

I hope it helps you!

Find b in triangle TRG. Please help, I'm not sure how to solve for b.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

b=4.9

C. is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle TGN,

Let <RTG be x

cosx= b/h

or, cosx = 2/a

Again,

In triangle TRG,

cosx = b/h

(for bigger right angled triangle)

cosx = a/(4+2)

cosx = a/6

Now

cosx = 2/a = a/6

or, 2/a = a/6

or, 12 = a²

so, a² = 12

Now,

For TRG,

h² = p²+b²

or, 6² = b² + a²(a²=12)

or, 6² = b² + 12

or, 36 = b² + 12

or, 36 -12 = b²

or, b² = 24

or, b = square root 24

so, b = 4.8989

so, b = 4.9
