Answer:

14.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using Pythagoras Theorem

The formula is given as:

c ² = a² + b ²

Where:

c = Hypotenuse

a = 8cm

b = 12 cm

Hence,

c² = 8² + 12²

c² = 64 + 144

c² = 208

We square root both sides

c = √(208)

c = 14.422205102 cm

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 14.4 cm

Paula has her own business making cakes for
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Since Paula has her own business of making cakes for special occasions, and the total price (P) of one of Paula's cakes is represented by the equation P = 0.75S +10, where S is the number of people the cake serves, for determine what does the 0.75 represent in this situation and what does the 10 represent in this equation, the following mathematical reasoning must be carried out:

P is the price of the cake

S is the number of servings

Therefore, 0.75 is the value of each serving, which can be variable (the number of servings can vary)

In turn, 10 is the fixed cost of each cake.

A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide the area is 72 find the length
Bingel [31]
Area=lw
l=2w
aera=2l^2
72=area

72=2l^2
divide both sides by 2
36=l^2
sqrt both sides
6=l
length=6 units

The roof leading to the top of a hill has an angle of elevation of 23 degrees. The hill is 120 feet high what is the leanth of t
Tresset [83]

Answer: 307.11\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The height of hill is 120 ft and the angle of elevation is 23^{\circ}

Suppose the length of the road is x

From the figure, we can write

\Rightarrow \sin 23^{\circ}=\dfrac{120}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{120}{\sin 23^{\circ}}\\\\\Rightarrow x=307.11\ ft

Thus, the length of the road is 307.11\ ft
