We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve this
The pythagorean theorem = a^2 + b^2 = c^2, while
a = one leg
b = the second leg
c = the hypotenuse
In this problem,
a = 3
b = 15
c = ?
Let's plug our values into the pythagorean theorem
(3)^2 + (15)^2 = c^2
9 + 225 = c^2
Add together the left side
234 = c^2
Take the sqrt of both sides
sqrt(234) = c
The length of BC = sqrt(234)
The answer is 25, hope this helps :)
This equation can be set up letting x be the hourly rate:40x+1.5x(52-40)=638 [40 times the rate, plus 1.5 times the rate for the hours over 40 equals the pay]40x+78x-60x=63858x=638x=11 hourly rate is $11/hr
