The sides view of a wall in Luke's office is shown below. The diagonal support piece is 17 centimeters, and the piece against the wall is 8 centimeters. What is the approximate measure of w, the total shelf? please use step by step instructions.

H. 22 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed. To determine w, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

From the diagram,

Hypotenuse = 17 cm

Opposite side = 8 cm

Adjacent side = w - 7

Therefore,

17² = 8² + (w - 7)²

289 = 64 + (w - 7)²

289 - 64 = (w - 7)²

225 = (w - 7)²

Taking square root of both sides if the equation, it becomes

w - 7 = √225 = 15

w = 15 + 7

w = 22 cm

a. turk and mcalister

b. howard, mission, and market

c. yes. since streets end some do not cross yet are not parallel to others. example: mcalister and 5th

step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines are lines which do not intersect ever and look a lot like railroad tracks. turk, mcalister and golden gate are examples of these.

intersect are streets which cross each other and a car on one can reach the other. howard, mission, and market intersect with 6th.

skew lines are lines which neither intersect nor are parallel. these lines exist here because some streets end and never intersect another like mcalister and 5th.
