This is the Pythagorean theorem where the 2 legs of a triangle squared add up to equal the squared hypotenuse (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
The equation would be
12^2 + 5^2 = x^2
144 + 25 = 169
The square root of 169 = 13
Answer - 13 ft
I think that so...............
Malik earned $243.
When he bought the tires, he spent $90 ($45x2), and he sold them for $130 ($65x2). So his profit was $40 ($130-$90).
He bought three rims for $225 ($85x3) and sold them all for $378 ($126x3). His profit was $153 ($378-$225).
The headlight covers cost him $25 in total ($5x5). He sold them all and got $75 ($15x5). The profit was $50 ($75-$25).
The total amount of money made was $243 ($40+$153+$50).
