We will use the Pythagoras theorem which will say

17^2 -15^2 = the side length
289 - 225 = 64
then you square root the answer
= √64
= 8
side length = 8

17^2 - 15^2
= 289 - 225
= 64

missing side = √64 = 8

Brad says that if a second number is 125% of the first number than the second number must be 75% of the second number is he corr

Answer:

Incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the first number is x, and the second number is y. Given, the second number is 125% of the first number. So, the equation will be

y = 1.25 x

Or, y= 5/4x

Now, multiplying it with 4/5, we get, x= 4/5y

Or, x= 0.80 y

But, Brad is saying the first number must be 75% of the second number. But here we see that the first number is 80% of the second number. That's why Brad is incorrect.

Leah claims that these figures are not similar. When she compared the heights, she wrote 27. Then she compared the bases and got

Flauer [41]

Answer:

<h2>Leah is actually wrong, because those rectangles are similar.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that similarity is about having proportional sides and congruent angles. When we have congruent sides, then those rectangles are congruent not similar.

In this case, to find the similarity, Leah should compare bases and heights thorugh division, because the ratio between heights and the ratio between bases must be equal. So, let's divide.

$\frac{21}{6}=3.5$
