Using the pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c = 12 feet
a = 3 feet
b = x feet
12^2 = 3^2 + x^2
144 = 9 + x^2
144 - 9 = x^2
135 = x^2
x = 11.6 feet
Therefore, the answer is B.
We just replace the "x" with the starting number (in this case "3").

There are two ways to find the answer. You could use cross-product or common denominator. To get the common denominator, change the denominators to 12 by multiplying both sides of 2/3 by 4. This gives you 8/12. 8/12 is less than 11/12.
Cross-product is easier and more time saving than changing into common denominators, though. In order to do this, set up your fractions vertically. Multiply the numerator of the first by the denominator of the second. Place the product above the second fraction. Then, multiply the numerator of the second fraction by the denominator of the first. Next, place the product above the first fraction. Then compare the two products. Whichever fraction has the greater number on top is the greater fraction. To do this, 11x3 is 33. Write that over 2/3. 2x12 is 24. Write that over 11/12. Since 33 is greater than 24, 2/3 is greater.
The final answer is: 11/12<2/3.
Answer: a is the # of elements in A but NOT B, that is A ONLY
b is the # of elements in B but NOT A, that is B only
N is the # of elements in the INTERSECTION of A and B
a + N = 99
b + N = 25
a + b + N = 123
Subtracting the first two equations: a - b = 74
Subtracting the last two equations: -a = -98
a = 98
So then a - b = 74 and a = 98
98 - b = 74
-b = -24
b = 24
a = 98, b = 24 and a + b + N = 123
98 + 24 + N = 123
122 + N = 123
N = 1
98 are in A only
24 are in B only , which is the answer to the question
1 is in both A and B
