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

6x + 3 (2x) - 7 - 2³ Please include th steps to solving it.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

24x-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do this together with a step-by-step explanation!

First we need to make sure we remember that there are appropriate ways on how to solve these. LIKE PEMDAS.

6x + 3 (2x) - 7 - 2³

Let's multiply the 3 and 2x together.

6x + 6x - 7 - 2³

Now let's do the exponent

6x + 6x - 7 - 8

Now let's add everything together! But remember only common variables can be added together.

24x - 15 is the answer.

You can no longer break anything down.

I really hope this helped you!
