Use the Pythagorean theorem since you are working with a right triangle:

a^2+b^2=c^2a2+b2=c2

The legs are a and b and the hypotenuse is c. The hypotenuse is always opposite the 90° angle. Insert the appropriate values:

0.8^2+0.6^2=c^20.82+0.62=c2

Solve for c. Simplify the exponents (x^2=x*xx2=x∗x ):

0.64+0.36=c^20.64+0.36=c2

Add:

1=c^21=c2

Isolate c. Find the square root of both sides:

\begin{gathered}\sqrt{1}=\sqrt{c^2}\\\\\sqrt{1}=c\end{gathered}1=c21=c

Simplify \sqrt{1}1 . Any root of 1 is 1:

c=c= ±11 *

c=1,-1c=1,−1

Do a proportion
60/100= x/300
60 x 300= 18,000
18,000 divided by 100= 180
Answer is 180

Or you could have done .60 x 300 and got 180.

Answer:

"Variable interval" is the right solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A variable-interval timetable seems to be a fiber-reinforced routine where another sensitivity or reaction would be commended because an unanticipated or unstable transaction has taken place, which would be the exact reverse of either a fixed-interval routine.
The whole such schedule results in a slow or predictable, fairly constant targeted respondents.

In the left hand side, you're multiplying 7.8 by $3.6\times 1$
