The triangle is a right triangle so use the Pythagorean theorem.

a² + b² = c²

15² + b² = 17²
225 + b² = 289
b² = 64
b = √64
b = 8

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

$\text{Area of the figure}=54\text{ unit}^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let us divide our given image in several parts and then we will find area of different parts.

First of all let us find the area of our red rectangle with side lengths 6 units and 7 units.

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Length*Width}$

$\text{Area of red rectangle part}=6\text{ units}\times 7\text{ units}$

$\text{Area of red rectangle part}=42\text{ units}^2$

Now let us find area of yellow triangle on the top of red rectangle. We can see that base of triangle is 6 units and height is 1 unit.

$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{Base*Height}$

$\text{Area of triangle}=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{6 units *1 unit}$

$\text{Area of triangle}=3\text{ unit}^2$

Let us find the area of green triangle.

$\text{Area of green triangle}=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{3 units *2 units}$

$\text{Area of green triangle}=3\text{ unit}^2$

Now we will find the area of blue triangle, whose base is 6 units and height is 2 units.

$\text{Area of blue triangle}=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{6 units *2 units}$

$\text{Area of blue triangle}=6\text{ units}^2$

Let us add all these areas to find the area of our figure.

$\text{Area of the figure}=42\text{ units}^2+3\text{ unit}^2+3\text{ unit}^2+6\text{ unit}^2$

$\text{Area of the figure}=(42+3+3+6)\text{ unit}^2$

$\text{Area of the figure}=54\text{ unit}^2$

Therefore, area of our given figure is 54 square units.

An estate of $613,000 is left to three siblings. The eldest receives 2 times as much as the youngest. The middle sibling receive

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Eldest: $298500

Middle: $165250

Youngest: $149250

Explanation:

We can show the siblings like this:

e=2y (eldest)

m=16000+y (middle)

To find the value of y, or the youngest sibling, we use an equation.

2y+16000+y+y=613000

Simplify:

4y+16000=613000

Subtract 16000 on both sides:

4y=597000

Divide both sides by 4:

y=149250

The youngest received $149250.

Knowing this, we can plug in the numbers into the original formulas:

e=2(149250)=298500 ...or $298500

m=16000+149250=165250 ...or $165250

y=149250 ...or $149250

Add all those numbers up, and you reach $613000.
