<u>Answer:</u>

  • The length of the hypotenuse is 17 km.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<em>Since this is a right triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to solve for c.</em>

  • c² = 15² + 8²
  • => c² = 225 + 64
  • => c² = 289
  • => c = 17

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse is 17 km.

Hoped this helped.

Answer:

17 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorm is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

In this problem we can call 8 km a and 15 km b.

Plug 8 and 15 into the pythagorean theorm to get 8^2 + 15^2 = c^2

This will give you 289=c^2

Take the square root of both sides to get c=17

Hope this helps!

If avogadro's number of pennies is divided equally among the 250. million men, women, and children in the united states, how man
Anastasy [175]

We divide the pennies 100 to convert pennies to dollar

1 pennies= 1/100 dollar

Then we will convert 6.02×10∧23 p to dollar

=1 dollar/100 pennie ×6.02×10∧23

= 6.02×10∧21

The total men and women and children in 250 m  

=25×108

6.02×10∧21/2.5×10∧8

= 2.408×10∧13
