Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
=> 9/72 = 3x-20/56
=> 9×45/72 = 3x-20
=> 27/3 = x
=> x = 7
Answer:
100000
Step-by-step explanation:
First multiplt the given njmber with 2000 and subrat total number givem
Just plug in 500 for p, 0.2 for r (because 20% is equivalent to 0.20), and 2 for t:
So, if you start with $500 and charge an interest rate of 20% for 2 years, you will gain $200 to get $700 in total.
Oh that question
Parallel sides
Opposite sides are congruent
And diagonals bisect each other
