Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle has 3 sides: the adjacent, the opposite and the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse is the largest side of the right angle

The shorter sides are 15 feet and 8 feet which should represent opposite and adjacent sides respectively

Opposite = 15 feet

Adjacent = 8 feet

Hypotenuse = x feet

Using Pythagoras theorem to solve

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

x² = 15² + 8²

x² = 225 + 64

x² = 289

Find the square root of both sides

√x² = √289

x = 17 feet

The 3rd side is 17 feet

Simplify 0.95x-9-1/2x(36-18y)-0.25(-3x+4.8)
iris [78.8K]

Answer: 9xy−16.3x−10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

=0.95x+−9+9xy+−18x+(−0.25)(−3x)+(−0.25)(4.8)

=0.95x+−9+9xy+−18x+0.75x+−1.2

Combine Like Terms:

=0.95x+−9+9xy+−18x+0.75x+−1.2

=(9xy)+(0.95x+−18x+0.75x)+(−9+−1.2)

=9xy+−16.3x+−10.2
