Lily just lit a new candle and then let it burn all the way down to nothing. The initial length of the candle was 10 inches and after burning for 10 hours, the candle's height
was down to 5 inches. Write an equation for L, in terms of t, representing the length
of the candle remaining unburned, in inches, t hours after the candle was lit.

step-by-step explanation:

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c

example answer: "to determine if a sum is reasonable you can round each number to the nearest whole and compare the estimated sum to the actual sum."

hope this you and anyone else who needs the answer : ^)
