Answer:

The half of the moon facing the sun is always lit, but the different phases we view from Earth happen because:

<h2>we only see parts of the lit side as the moon goes around the Earth.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The moon phases occur because the Sun lights different parts of the Moon as the Moon revolves around the Earth. So, we only see the parts of the Moon that are being lit while it orbits Earth.

Find the area of the right triangle. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

B. 150 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Triangle = .5 * Base * height

So we need the height of the triangle, or the missing side.

We have to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

15 ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = 25 ^2

b^2 = 25^2 - 15 ^ 2

b^2 = 625 - 225

b^2 = 400

sqrt (400) = 20

The missing height is 20. Now we plug it into 1/2 * b * H

.5 * 15 * 20

7.5 * 20 = 150
