9. At Ethan's tree Farm, the taller trees are braced by wires that extend 2 feet below the top of a tree, to a stake in the ground. What is the tallest tree that can be braced with a 25-foot wire staked 15 feet from the base of the tree?

22'

Step-by-step explanation:

25^2=15^2+x^2   where x=tree height less the 2' from the top

x=20'

Add the 2' from wire connection to top of tree.

22'

i would need to see the dot plot : )

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
