Find the length of side a.

12

=> here's your solution

=> hypotenuse = 13

=> base. = 5

=> we need to find out perpendicular

=> so, we know. h^2 = b^2 + p^2

=> now putting value in this formula

=> p^2 = 13^2 - 5^2

=> p^2 = 169 - 25

=> p^2 = 144

=> p = √144

= >> p = 12

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.

the answer is:

mean: 6

mad: 2.14
