Answer:
30°
Step-by-step explanation:

The first one is the answer/
<u>24</u> = <u>30</u>
x = 100
<u>30x</u> = <u>2400</u>
30 = 30
x = 80
Move the -7 to the right, its sign will flip (do you know why?)
Negate both sides to change -x to x
-x = 16+7
-x = 23
x = -23
Answer:
16
notice how a right triangle was formed, and the Pythagorean theorem could be used to solve this :
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
a^2 + 225 = 289
a^2 = 64
a= 8
multiply it by 2 to get the side of the base
8 * 2 = 16
