What is the value of x in the circle to the right?

9514 1404 393

  10 1/16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem can be used.

  (8 +x)² = x² +15²

  64 +16x +x² = x² +225

  16x = 161

  x = 161/16 = 10 1/16 = 10.0625 . . . cm

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
