Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok lets on the biggest square we have 17 cm

17cm is the hypotenuse for the right triangle

The second largest's area is 225 cm^2

Sq root of 225 cm^2, is 15

To find x, lets plug the info we have to the pythagorean theorom

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2\\a^2 + 225 = 289\\\\289 - 225 = a^2\\64=a^2\\a = 8 cm

The side length of the smallest Square is 8 cm

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

Answer:

Eldest: $335,500   Middle: $182,750   Youngest: $167,750

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the amount of money the youngest sibling received as x.

The amount the eldest received can be represented as: 2x

The amount the middle sibling received can be represented as: x + 15,000

If we combined the amount of money that all of the siblings received, it would be $686,000. We can write this as an equation:

686,000 = 2x + (x + 15,000) + x

Now let's solve for x. First, combine like terms

686,000 = 4x + 15,000

Subtract 15000 from both sides to isolate the 4x

671,000 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate the x

167,750 = x

Now we know that the amount of money the youngest received is $167,750. We can use this amount to figure out how much the other two siblings received.

Eldest: 2 * 167,750 = $335,500

Middle: 167,750 + 15,000 = $182,750

We can check to make sure these answers are correct by adding them all together to make sure that they equal 686,000

167,750 + 335,500 + 182,750 = 686,000

A moving sidewalk in an airport moves people between gates. It takes Jason's 8-year-old
likoan [24]

Answer:

The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec

Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the side walk and y represent her walking speed

It takes Jason's 8-year-old daughter Josie 44 sec to travel 176 ft walking with the sidewalk

Distance = speed × time

176 = (x+y)×44

44x+44y = 176

x+y = 4 .......1

It takes her 7 sec to walk 21 ft against the moving sidewalk in the opposite direction).

21 = (y-x)7

7y - 7x = 21

y - x = 3 ......2

Add equation 1 to 2

2y = 7

y = 3.5 ft/sec

From equation 1

x + y = 4

x = 4 - 3.5 = 0.5

x = 0.5 ft/sec

The sidewalk moves at 0.5 ft/sec

Josie's speed walking on a non-moving ground is 3.5ft/sec
