First, the values of 2sqrt(3) or 3sqrt(3) are not even twice the length of the given base, 3.
Next, I would say that 6 is the better answer than 12, assuming that the triangle is”drawn-to-scale”.
Finally, I think the hypotenuse is 6.
I'm guessing you find the length of the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c² a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
15² + 8² = c²
225 + 64 = c²
289 = c²
√289 = √c²
17 = c
hope that helps, God bless!
-3x + 7y = -16 . . . (1)
-9x + 5y = 16 . . . .(2)
(1) x 3 => -9x + 21y = -48 . . . (3)
(2) - (3) => -16y = 64 . . . (4)
Required equivalent system of equations is
-9x + 5y = 16
-16y = 64
Answer:slope of line is 5/7
Explanation:The slope of the line can be calculated using the following rule:
slope =

The given points are:
(-9,-10) which represent (x1,y1)
(-2,-5) which represent (x2,y2)
Substitute with the points in the above equation to get the slope as follows:
slope =

= 5/7
Hope this helps :)
To get their combined time, get the sum of Vega's time and Janice's

Therefore, their combined time for their part of the relay is 53.659 seconds.
