The length of the unknown side is 16 meters

<h3>What is a right triangle?</h3>

A right triangle is a triangle that has one of its angles to be 90 degrees

The length of the unknown side is calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem.

$20^2 = 12^2 +b^2$

Evaluate the exponents

$400 = 144 +b^2$

Collect like terms

$b^2 = 400 -144$

Evaluate the like terms

$b^2 = 256$

Take the square root of both sides

$b = 16$

Hence, the length of the unknown side is 16 meters

Jalen made $533.75 while working at his job. He makes $15.25 an hour, how many hours did he work to make that amount of money?

mixer [17]

Answer:

35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically, people get their paycheck after 2 weeks.

Let say he worked 8 hours a day, a typical amount of hours for the average human who has a occupation.

Multiply the amount of hours by the amount payed every hour.

So 15.25 x 8 is 122

( so in 8 hours jalen made $122)

Add 8 hours, which would now be 16 hours worked.

16 x 15.25 = 244

(so in 16 hours jalen made $244)

Add another 8 hours of work time which would now be 24 hours (1 full day)

24x5.25=366

Add 10 hours on now which would be 34 hours worked (2 days = 48 hours meaning she worked 1 day and 10 hours )

34x15.25=518.50

(getting closer to the amount she earned)

So if we add another hour

which would be 35 hours worked (1 day 11 hours)

35 x 15.25 = 533.75

Therefore, Jalen worked 35 hours.

Mark wants to improve his free throw percentage in basketball He has shot 1,250 free throws over the last 20 days. He shot eithe

Sedaia [141]

Let's use a for number of days when he shot 50 shots and b for number of days when he shot 100 shots.
We have:
a + b = 20

We also know that he shot total of 1250 shots:
50a + 100 b = 1250

We have two equations. We can solve them for a and b. Let's rearange first equation for a:
a= 20 - b
We insert this into second equation:
50 * (20 - b ) + 100b = 1250
1000 - 50b + 100b = 1250
50b = 250
b = 5
a = 20 - 5
a = 15

Mark shot 100 shots on 5 days.
