Which statement describes the relationship between the length of a rain delay and the number of hours of rainfall? OA. During several storms, there were five delays.
ОВ.
During several storms, it rained for six hours.
OC. During several storms, there were five hours of delay for every eight hours of rain
OD. During several storms, the longer it rained, the shorter the delay

 c. during several storms, there were five hours of delay for every eight hours of rain

Step-by-step explanation: i just had this question

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
