Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation: Consider a triangle with points A, B and C. You must create a perpendicular bisector of AB and then a perpendicular bisector of BC that crosses each other. Then you must label the center of that point D, and then using a compass tool, create a circle around the triangle.
I think the answer would be 7.5 hours or 4 hours,not so sure which one exactly
The answer is: [C]: "Astrologers do not use the scientific method."
_____________________________________________________
Note: Choice [A] is incorrect. Astrologers do use tools.
_____________________________________________________
Choice [B] is incorrect. Some astrologers do observe the universe.
_____________________________________________________
Choice [D] is incorrect. Astrologers may or may not go to college; and whether or not they do or do not is irrelevant as regard to whether to they are considered "scientists".

You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle. the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'
so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out
so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11
11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60
12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth
