80 would be your answer for this question
Answer: Um, the value of x and y is x=–7, y=–1, I’m not sure my answer is going to be wrong or right, please tell me the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the legs of the triangle be a and b, and the hypotenuse c.
Your first instinct might tell you to use the Pythagorean theorem to go about solving this because
. This works, but it is slow.
The fastest way to solve this is to recognize that the right triangle is a special triangle where the ratio of the sides are 3:4:5. This means that if the legs are 9 and 12, then the hypotenuse is 15 because 3*3 is 9, 3*4 is 12, and 3*5 is 15.
