So considering she’s using the Pythagorean Theorem, it implies that it’s a right triangle. In this case, a^2+b^2=c^2 is used to solve for any length. While “a” and “b” are interchangeable, c is always the hypotenuse. And as you may know, the hypotenuse is the longer side of the right triangle.
So now solve for it to be sure if it is in fact a right triangle.
8^2+15^2=17^2
64+225= 289
289=289
Which means B is the error made.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
6 tiles.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Roberto needs some roofing tiles to be cut from a large tile.
Let us find the number of tiles that can be cut from a larger piece of tile.
Let us convert our given mixed fractions in improper fractions.
Now let us substitute our given values in above formula.

Since we know that dividing a fraction by a fraction is same as multiplying the reciprocal of second fraction with the first fraction.
Upon cancelling out 8 from numerator and denominator we will get,
We can see that number of tiles turns out to be 6.98, although it is very close to 7, but we cannot round our answer because the 7th tile will still be shorter than the required measure. Therefore, we can only cut 6 tiles of the required size from the given large tile.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² + 8y = 121.5
x² - 8y = 121.5
Add the equations together to eliminate the y terms.
3x² = 243
x² = 81
x = 9
Option C is the answer to your question!!
Hope this helps you!!
Step-by-step explanation:
2+3=120
5=120
=120
