Which equation can be used to find the unknown length, a, in this triangle? A right triangle has a side with length 15 meters and hypotenuse with length 17 meters. The other side is labeled a.

A. a squared + 15 squared = 17 squared

B.15 squared + 17 squared = a squared

C. a squared + 15 = 17 squared

D. a + 15 squared = 17 squared

i think the answer is true

step-by-step explanation:

hello there!

i believe the answer is

(cot2+1)/sec2=cot2

    csc2/sec2=cot2

  (1/sin2)/(1/cos2)=cot2

  (1/sin2)(cos2/1)=cot2

  cos2/sin2=cot2

  (1/tan2)=cot2

  (cot2)=(cot2)

hope this !

2.14x - 12.18 = -5.76

add 12.18 to each side

2.14x -12.18 +12.18 = -5.76 +12.18

2.14 x =6.42

divide by 2.14

2.14x/2.14 = 6.42/2.14

x=3

the answer is $4.45. i started by figuring out the cost of the plates and napkins. the easiest way to figure this cost out is through the tax. we know the way they found the tax is by multiplying the cost of non-food items by the tax rate (5% or 0.5). so, all we have to do to find the cost before tax is set up an equation and work this formula backwards. the equation is 0.19=0.05x where x is the cost of the plates and napkins. now all you do is divide both sides by 0.05 to come up with 3.8=x. now that we know the cost of the plates and napkins is $3.80, all we have to do is subtract this cost from the total cost of $8.25 giving us the cost of the watermelon which is $4.45.
