Answer 1

Answer:

Shorter leg = 2.5 ft.

Longer leg = 6.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Because the hypotenuse = 7 ft, a^2 + b^2 = 49

To represent the two legs, we can use x and x+4.

x^2 + (x+4)^2 = 49

Simplifying this equation using FOIL gives us 2x^2 + 8x - 33 = 0.

Then, using the quadratic formula, we find that x = 2.5.

Thus, the shorter leg is 2.5 ft. and, when 4 is added, the longer leg is 6.5 ft.

Alonso is buying a new phone for $ 870
on the installment plan. He must put
down 15% and pay monthly payments
for one year. How much is each monthly
payment?
A.$13.05
B.$83.38
C. $61.63
D. $10.77

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Get 15% of 870:

   First, get 10 percent of 870, which is 87, then half that, which is 43.5

   Get the 87 and add the 43.5 on it, to get the full 15%, you end up with $130.5, which is the monthly payment.

(Only problem is that im pretty sure you put an extra 0, because if you just wrote 87 dollar's then you would've got 13.05, the actual answer, but if you add an extra 0 then you end up with 130$, just to let you know.)

Yes you are right, 500 hours is not an hour and I doubt anyone can work that much, there are only 168 hours in a single week.

PEMDAS is the order of operations. Here’s how to solve this expression:

Expression: 15+14 ÷ 2-4•5

1.) Parentheses: there are no parentheses to
simply.
2.) Exponents: there are no exponents to
simply.
3.) Multiplication and Division: multiplication and division have an equal relationship meaning one operation doesn’t have a priority over the other. So, we work left to right as to what operation comes first.

In the expression 15+14 ÷ 2-4•5, we see that 14 ÷ 2 comes first because it’s to the left.

14 ÷ 2 = 7

15+(7)-4•5 after division, now we need to multiply.

-4•5 = -20

Therefore, 15+(7)-(20) is the simplification.

4.) Addition and Subtraction: addition and subtraction come after multiplication and division and also have an equal relationship. So again, we work left to right as to which operation comes first.

In the expression 15+7-20, 15+7 comes before 7-20.

15+7 = 22

So, (22)-20 after addition. Now we need to subtract.

22-20 = 2. That’s your answer!

hey i need help with how to multiply 8/9 and 1/4. HELP ME OOOUUUUTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer:  2/9

Explanation:

Multiply the numbers up top: 8*1 = 8

Multiply the numbers in the bottom: 9*4 = 36

The two fractions 8/9 and 1/4 multiply to 8/36. Reduce this to 2/9 after dividing both parts by the GCF 4.

In other words,

8/4 = 2

36/4 = 9

Hello there! :)

When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerator times the numerator and the denominator times the denominator. We reduce if it's necessary.

So multiply:

[tex]\frac{8}{9} *\frac{1}{4} \\[/tex]

Reduce and get:

[tex]\frac{2}{9} *\frac{1}{1} \\\frac{2}{9}[/tex]

And that's our final answer. Hope it helps you!
