Answer:
Pythagorean’s theorem states that if a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the side lengths of the right triangle
Given that we can plug in
a= 6 , b = 8 , c = 10
We get an equation:
6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2
36 + 64 = 100
100 = 100
63 = 9k
divide by 9 on each side to get k by itself
k = 7
7/10 of 80 is 56
4/5 of 80 is 64
3/4 of 80 is 60
5/8 of 80 is 50
1/2 of 80 is 40
1/4 of 80 is 20
1/10 of 80 is 8
1/8 of 80 is 10
to work these out divide the number by the denominator (bottom number) and multiply by the numerator (top number)
Answer: 29 miles per gallon.
Reasoning: 856 miles/29.4 gallons = 29.1156462585 (rounded to the nearest mile = 29)
Hope this helped!
