C , have a good rest of your day!
It is convenient to remember that 5-12-13 is a Pythagorean triple.
Her ladder is 12 ft above the ground where it rests on the house.
_____
Using the Pythagorean theorem, you are given the hypotenuse as 13 ft and one leg as 5 ft. Then the other leg is
.. √(13^2 -5^2) = √(169 -25) = √144 = 12
Answer:
1 cookie = $1.25 1 cake = $15
Step-by-step explanation:
set up a system of equations:
let x = 1 cookie
let y = 1 cake
3x + 5y = 78.75
8x + 2y = 40
I multiplied the first equation by 2 to get: 6x + 10y = 157.50
I multiplied the second equation by -5 to get: -40x - 10y = -200.00
If you add both equations, the y-terms will be eliminated
-34x = -42.50
x = 1.25
Plug in 1.25 into equation to find value of y: 8(1.25) + 2y = 40
10 + 2y = 40
2y = 30
y = 15
A/B : 4/9 = 12/B
cross multiply
(4)(B) = (9)(12)
4B = 108
B = 108/4
B = 27
P = 4a...where a is the length of one side
P = 4(27)
P = 108 yds <=== perimeter of square B
