A^2+b^2= 15^2
b=a-3
Use substitution
a^2+(a-3)^2= 225
a^2+a^2-6a+9=225
2a^2-6a=-216
2a^2-6a+216=0
2(a^2-3a+108)
2(a-12)(a+9)
(a-12)=0
a=12
(a+9)=0
a=-9
A is -9 or 12, but since an object can't have a negative length or width, a must be 12.
Plug this value of a in.
b=(12)-3
b=9
Final answer: Length=9, width=12
It would be: 9m - 5m + 2
= 4m + 2
Hope this helps!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 0.8 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .8, means.
Since there are 1 digits in 8, the very last digit is the "10th" decimal place.
So we can just say that .8 is the same as 8/10.
The fraction is not reduced to lowest terms. We can reduce this fraction to lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Why divide by 2? 2 is the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) or Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the numbers 8 and 10.
So, this fraction reduced to lowest terms is 4/5
So your final answer is: 0.8 can be written as the fraction 8/10 simplified to 4/5
This answer would be letter C because if you simplify 49/56 divided by seven you get a grand total of 7/8.
