Answer:
B. 10
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to recognize that the two triangles are similar (the triangle with a leg value of 21 and the triangle with a leg value of 4 and hypotenuse x)
Let's first label the leg of the second triangle as y.
Then, we can set up this equation

Cross multiplying gives us
84=y^2
So, y=sqrt(84) or 2 sqrt(21).
Now, using the pythagorean theorem, we get
4^2+2sqrt(21)^2=x^2
100=x^2
x=10

Ok so let's start with what we know- the shortest piece is 8 inches so there's one length... then the middle piece is 6 inches longer than the shortest (6+ 8) so the middle piece would be 14 inches long. To find the last piece we can add up the other two pieces we know (14+8) which would be 22 and subtract that from how long the whole sandwich is (59-22) which would be 37 inches long. So in the end he shortest piece would be 8 inches, the middle 14 inches and the longest 37 inches.
1.) -8 + 10(6 + 4r)
First multiply the 10 into (6 + 4r)
-8 + 60 + 40r
52 + 40r
2.) (8m² - 8m + 8) - (2m - 7m² - 6)
Distribute the - into (2m - 7m² - 6)
8m² - 8m + 8 - 2m + 7m² + 6
Combine like terms
15m² - 10m + 14
(idk if you need to factor this or if you can leave it as is)
Slot method
5 slots
1st slot: 20
2nd slot: 19 (1 went to first slot)
3rd slot: 18
4th slot: 17
5th slot: 16
20*19*18*17*16=186,040 ways
