Answer:
558
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the student population at Edison Jr High. Then we know ...
(4/9)p = 248 . . . . . 248 students is 4/9 of the student population
p = 248(9/4) = 558 . . . multiply the equation by 9/4
558 students attend Edison Jr. High.
This is Pythagorean's Theorem, with one leg being 10 and the hypotenuse being 16. Using those values in the theorem looks like this:
and
and
so
Take the square root of both sides to find that b = 12.5
