Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

How to solve:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of side BC.

Pythagorean Theorem Formula:

$A^2+B^2=C^2$

Side AB will be A, side AC will be B, and side BC will be C.

Plug in values.

$8^2+15^2 = C^2\\\\\\64 + 225 = C^2\\\\289 = C^2\\Square.root.both.sides.\\\\\sqrt{289} = C\\17 = C\\\\\\$

This means the answer is A. 17.

Answer:

12, 16, and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the answers because:

1) Composite numbers mean numbers that are divisible by more than two numbers (1 and itself).

2) Multiples of 4 that are greater than 10 are: 12, 16, and 20 because they are all divisible by more than two numbers, they are greater than 10, and they are mutiples of 4. You can check if they are multiples of 4 by skip counting or multiplying: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 or 4 x 1 = 4, 4 x 2 = 8, 4 x 3 = 12, 4 x 4 = 16, 4 x 5 = 20.

Therefore, the answers are: 12, 16, and 20

Hope this helps! :D
