Answer:
Sheridan's Work is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The lengths side of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

where
a and b are the legs
c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)
In this problem
Let

substitute

Solve for b





we have that
<em>Jayden's Work</em>


substitute and solve for c





Jayden's Work is incorrect, because the missing side is not the hypotenuse of the right triangle
<em>Sheridan's Work</em>


substitute

Solve for b





therefore
Sheridan's Work is correct
Answer:
7) a = 60; b = 100
8) c = 20
9) d = 45
Step-by-step explanation:
7)
a + 120 = 180
a = 60
b + 80 = 180
b = 100
8)
5c + 4c = 180
9c = 180
c = 20
9)
3d + d = 180
4d = 180
d = 45
239.99 x 75%(75/100) ~ $180
$180 x 90%(90/100) = $162
