Answer: Option 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is an arrow pointing left with an open circle at x=-12.
A^2 + b^2 = c^2....this is the pythagoream theroum (sorry, probably spelled it wrong)....it is used for right triangles.
a and b are ur legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse. Therefore, the value of a^2 is the value of one of the legs, squared.
OR. if u mean this..
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 = c^2 - b^2
Before jumping into doing this problem, it is important to look at all the information's that have been made available in the question. Based on those given conditions the answer to the problem can be easily deduced.
Let us assume the number of friends Sumalee has = x
Then
2x + 8 = 40
2x = 40 -8
2x = 32
x = 32/2
x = 16
So Sumalee has 16 friends. There are numerous ways to get to the answer that is required to be found. This is the easiest and the shortest method. Hope i helped you.
