Ryan is putting a clothesline in his rectangular backyard. He wants to put it between two trees on the edge of his property. He has measured his property, and made the sketch shown below, where all the lengths listed are in meters. What is the smallest length of rope that Ryan could buy which would stretch from one tree to the other?

Explanation:  

The first figure attached is the sketch of the property mentioned on the question, where all the lengths listed are in meters.

The second figure attached identifies a right triangle whose hypotenuse, c, is the smallest length that the clothesline can measure; and the legs measure 20m, and 20m - 10m = 15m.  

Now, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the smallest length of the clothesline:

step-by-step explanation:

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
