You can solve using the pythagorean theorem which is

a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse in a right triangle.

12^2+x^2=24^2
144+x^2=576
x^2=432
x =20.78 (approximately)

The best answer is a, 20.78 units. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this: a^2+b^2=c^2. Just plug in the variables and solve it as a multi step equation. The legs of the right triangle are a and b, which in this case you would plug in those variables with x and 12. The hypotenuse is c, which in this case is 24. That will leave you with 12^2+b^2=24^2. Simplify those exponents and continue solving for b. At the last part of your equation solving, you’ll be left with b^2= a number. To find the value of b just find the s quake root of that number and there’s your answer.

Julie is a math tutor. She charges each student $210 for the first 7 hours of tutoring and $20 for each additional hour.
Maksim231197 [3]
She spent 17 hours tutoring

$210 = 7 hours

$20 x 10 hours = $200

$210 + $200 = $410
7 Hours + 10 Hours = 17 Hours

How many cubic centimeters is 5 cubic meters.
tresset_1 [31]
The key to solving this question is first knowing how many cubic cm are in one cubic m:

The ratio is always 1000000 cubic cm in 1 cubic meter.

Knowing this, we calculate how many cubic cm are in 5 cubic meters!

<u>1000000 cubic cm </u>= <u>1 </u><span><u>cubic m</u>
      x </span>cubic cm           5 cubic m

x = 1000000 cubic cm x 5 cubic m ÷ 1 cubic m
x = 5<span>000000 cubic cm

Hope this helps!
