Answer:

The shorter wall is 5 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by visualizing the the long wall, short wall, and diagonal wall as a right triangle.

After doing so, the problem can be solved by utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the sides must be equivalent to a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with a b and c being the actual lengths of the sides of the triangle.

To begin, you would create the equation a^2 + 12^2 = 13^2 (c always indicates the hypotenuse, but a and b are interchangeable for the remaining sides).

Then, you would find the square of 12 and 13, which would be 144 and 169, respectively. Thus, a^2 + 144 = 169.

Next, you would get a^2 by itself on the left side in order to solve for it by subtracting 144 from both sides, which grants the equation a^2 = 25.

Finally, after finding the square root of both sides, you get the final answer of a = 5. Thus, the shorter wall is 5 feet long.

Lauren has gross pay of $765 and federal tax withholdings of $68. Determine Lauren's net pay if she has the additional items wit
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
<span>gross =768
 fed = 68
 ss = 6.2/100 times 765
 med = 1.45/100 times 765
state = 22/100 times 68
gross - ( sum of all deductions) = net pay
</span><span>Subtract 6.2% of $765 = 0.062 * $765 = 48.67
</span><span>Subtract 1.45% of $765 = 0.0145 * $765 = 11,0925
</span><span>Subtract 22% of $68 = 0.222 * $65 = 14.43
</span>Social security tax = 765 * 6.2% = 47.43
Medicare tax  = 765 * 1.45% = 11.09
State tax (22% of federal tax) = 68 * 22% = 14.96

765 - 68 - 47.43 - 11.09 - 14.96 = 623.52

 net pay is 623.52
