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:

The answer to your question is:th first option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have and hyperbola with center (0, 1), and the hyperbola is horizontal because x² is positive.

Equation

y - k = ± $\frac{b}{a} (x - h)$

Process

Find a, b

a² = 9

a = 3

b² = 5

b = √5

h = 0 and k = 1

Substitution

y - 1 = ± $\frac{√5}{3} (x - 0)$

Equation 1

y = $\frac{\sqrt{5} }{3} x + 1$

Equation 2

y = - $\frac{\sqrt{5} }{3} x + 1$

A florist arranges 4 flower arrangements in 92 minutes.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 9 \ arrangements }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup:

$\frac{arrangements}{minutes} =\frac{arrangements}{minutes}$

We know that the florist can arrange 4 in 92 minutes.

$\frac{4 \ arrangements}{92 \ minutes} = \frac{arrangements}{minutes}$

We don't know how many the florist can arrange in 207 minutes, so we say x arrangements can be completed in 207 minutes.

$\frac{4 \ arrangements}{92 \ minutes} = \frac{ x \ arrangements}{ 207 \ minutes}$

$\frac{4}{92} =\frac{x}{207}$

Solve for x by isolating it on one side of the proportion.

x is being divided by 207. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 207.

$207*\frac{4}{92}=\frac{x}{207}*207$

$207*\frac{4}{92}=x$

$207*0.0434782609=x$

$9=x$

The florist can arrange <u>9 arrangements</u> in 207 minutes.

A fish swims 6 feet directly above a scuba diver. The fish suddenly dives to double its depth under the surface of the ocean. Th

IRISSAK [1]

The position of the scuba diver relative to the surface of the ocean is 27 feet under the surface.

Since a fish swims 6 feet directly above a scuba diver, and the fish suddenly dives to double its depth under the surface of the ocean, and the fish dives to a depth of −42 feet, to determine what is the position of the scuba diver relative to the surface of the ocean, the following calculation must be performed:

42/2 + 6 = X
21 + 6 = X
27 = X

Therefore, the position of the scuba diver relative to the surface of the ocean is 27 feet under the surface.
