Answer:

The shortest side = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Call one  side = a

The middle side = b

the hypotenuse = c

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + b^2 = 13^2

a^2 + b^2 = 169

a + b + c = 30

a + b + 13 = 30

a + b = 17

b = 17 - a

a^2 + b^2 = 169

a^2 + (17 -  a)^2 = 169

a^2 + (289 - 34a + a^2) = 169

a^2 + a^2 - 34a + 289 = 169           Subtract 169 from both sides

2a^2 - 34a + 289 - 169 = 0

2a^2 - 34a + 120 = 0                      Divide by 2

a^2 - 17a + 60 = 0

This quadratic is easily factored. You need two numbers that add to - 17 and multiply to 60

(a - 5) * (a - 12) = 0    Both give you positive answers. You only want the shortest side

a - 5 = 0

a = 5                                              Is 5 the shortest side?

a - 12 = 0

a = 12                                           Yes 5 is the shortest side.

By evaluating a linear equation, we can complete the table:

Number of visits   |  total cost

      2                            $132

      4                            $184

      5                            $210

      8                            $288

<h3>How to fill the table?</h3>

We know that her membership fee costs $80.00, and it allows her to get her hair done for $26.00 for each visit, so if she does x visits, then the total cost for these x visits (including the membership fee) is:

c(x) = $80.00 + $26.00*x

So we have a linear equation that models the total cost.

Evaluating the equation in the values of the table we will get the other values.

c(2) = $80 + $26*2 = $132

c(4) = $80 + $26*4 = $184

c(5) = $80 + $26*5 = $210

c(8) = $80 + $26*8 = $288

Then the complete table is:

Number of visits   |  total cost

      2                            $132

      4                            $184

      5                            $210

      8                            $288
