Answer:

c = 10h

Step-by-step explanation:

c = 8h

Where,

c = Total amount she should charge a customer

h = Number of hours

8 = amount charged per hour of babysitting

A. 8 is the constant of proportionality and it means Nila charges $8 per hour of babysitting

B. If she decides to increase the rate she charges customers by $2 per hour, then the new equation she should use to determine how much to charge her customers is:

c = (8 + 2)h

c = 10h

A reflecting pool is shaped like a right triangle with one leg along the wall of a building. the hypotenuse is 9 feet longer tha

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft

The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft

The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, the shape of the pool is right triangle.

Let the leg side along the wall to be the x ft

Let the other leg side to be 7+x ft

Let the longest side/hypotenuse to be x+9 ft

Apply the Pythagorean relationship where the sum of squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse

This means;

$x^2 +(x+7)^2=(x+9)^2\\\\$

Expand the terms in brackets

$x^2+(x+7)^2=(x+9)^2\\\\\\x^2+x^2+14x+49=x^2+18x+81$

collect like terms

$x^2+x^2-x^2=18x-14x+81-49\\\\\\x^2=4x+32\\\\\\x^2-4x-32=0$

solve for x in the quadratic equation by factorization

$x^2-4x-32=0\\\\\\x^2-8x+4x-32=0\\\\\\x(x-8)+4(x-8)=0\\\\\\(x+4)(x-8)=0\\\\\\x+4=0,x=-4\\\\x-8=0,x=8$

Taking the positive value of x;

x=8ft

Finding the lengths

Leg side along the wall = x ft = 8 ft

The other leg side = 7+x ft = 7+8=15 ft

The Hypotenuse =9+x ft = 9+8 = 17 ft
