Answer:
The prices will match up at 3 snowboard rental trips. The cost is $25.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I wrote out the two equations:
Cold Boarders: 5x + 10
Ice Riders: 4x + 13
Next, I kept trying numbers for x until I found one that worked. The two companies prices match up at 3 snowboard rental trips. The cost will be $25. Hope this helped!
A figure formed by 3 segments connecting 3 non-colinear points
The anwser to the problem is C.
Explanation:
To find x we need to find the unknown side that connects the two triangles using the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c² (c is always hypotenuse)
So:
a² + 6² = 9²
a² = 9² - 6²
a² = 81 - 36
a² = 45
a = sqrt45
Now we do the same thing for the other triangle:
x² + 5² = sqrt45²
x² + 25 = 45
x² = 20
x = 2√5 or 4.5...
