A right triangle has a base that measure 39 inches and a height that measures 80 inches. What is the length of its hypotenuse?

guajiro [1.7K]

The Pythagorean Theorum formula is a(squared) + b(squared)= c(squared). If you plug in the numbers, the equation is 39(squared) + 80(squared)= c(squared). That simplifies to 1521+6400=c(squared). Adding results in 7921=c(squared). Finally, when you take the square root of both sides, you are left with 89=c (aka the hypotenuse)

Blake and James are planning to go on a trip. Blake already has some money saved. She earns $96 more by working overtime. James

rosijanka [135]

Blake saved $\bold{\$ 433.80}$

Option - A

SOLUTION:

Given, Blake and James are planning to go on a trip.

Blake already has some money saved.

Let the amount saved by Blake be $\$ n$ .

She earns $\$96$ more by working overtime.

Then, total amount by Blake $=\$(n+96)$

James has $\$ 53$ more than 4 times the amount of money that Blake has saved.

Then, total amount by James will be $\$ 53+4 \times \$ n=\$(4 n+53)$

If they have $\$2,318$ in all, we have to find how much money had Blake originally saved

Now, total amount = $\$2318$

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow \text { Amount by Blake }+\text { amount by James }=2318} \\\\ {\rightarrow \mathrm{n}+96+4 \mathrm{n}+53=2318 \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{n}+149=2318 \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{n}=2318-149 \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{n}=2169 \rightarrow \mathrm{n}=433.8}\end{array}$
