The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 13 ft long. The longer leg is 7 ft longer than the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The shorter leg is five feet, the longer leg is 12 feet, and the hypotenuse is 13 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter leg be x.

Since the longer leg is seven feet longer than the shorter leg, the length of the longer leg can be modeled by (x + 7).

Since the triangle is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, given by:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Where a and b are the side lengths and c is the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse is 13 and the legs are x and (x + 7). Substitute:

[tex](x)^2+(x+7)^2=(13)^2[/tex]

Square:

[tex]x^2+x^2+14x+49=169[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]2x^2+14x-120=0[/tex]

We can divide both sides by two:

[tex]x^2+7x-60=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](x-5)(x+12)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]x-5=0\text{ or }x+12=0[/tex]

Solve for each case:

[tex]x=5\text{ or } x=-12[/tex]

Since lengths cannot be negative, we can ignore the negative answer. So, our only solution is:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

The shorter leg is five feet, the longer leg will be (5 + 7) or 12 feet. And the hypotenuse is 13 feet as given.

Answers

Answer:

x=16.53cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 liter = 1000 cm^3

The volume of water in the rectangular prism will be 11*11*x = 2000

Given the function f(x) = 4x - 2, explain and show how to find the average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4.

Answers

Answer:

The average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4 is of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change:

The average rate of change of a function f(x) in an interval [a,b] is given by:

[tex]A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]f(x) = 4x - 2, b = 4, a = 2[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]f(b) = f(4) = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14[/tex]

[tex]f(a) = f(2) = 4(2) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6[/tex]

Average rate of change:

[tex]A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{14-6}{4-2}[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 4[/tex]

The average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4 is of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +2y= 16 -----(2)

(2) ×2:

6x +4y= 32 -----(3)

(1) +(3):

5x -4y +6x +4y= -10 +32

11x= 22

x= 22 ÷11 (÷11 on both sides)

x= 2

Substitute x= 2 into (2):

y= 10 ÷2

Can someone please help me with this problem?

Answers

Answer:

C 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

117 = x² + (x+3)² = x² + x² + 6x + 9 = 2x² + 6x + 9

=>

108 = 2x² + 6x

54 = x² + 3x

0 = x² + 3x - 54 = (x-6)(x+9)

just think by what numbers can we divide 54 without any remainder (so that when multiplying we get 54) ? and which pair of these have a difference of 3 (so that with +/- combination we get "3x" in the multiplication)?

the solutions for x are the 2 numbers that would make one of the bracket expressions 0, as this turns the whole expression to 0.

x = 6 and x = -9

a negative number does not make any sense for a side length.

so, the only possible solution is x = 6

What is the area and perimeter of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

Area = 20yd

Perimeter = 23 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 1/2 ×bh

b, which I the base = 10yd

h, which is the height = 4yd

Note: 5yd is the base because when you turn the triangle you will see that 10yd is the base and 5yd is the height not 8yd because 8 yd is not a straight line at a right angle

Therefore;

Area = 1/2× 10 × 4

= 1× 5 × 4

= 20yd

Perimeter = 8yd +5yd +10yd

= 13yd + 10yd

= 23yd

Determine if the two triangles are congruent. If they are State how you know. NO LINKS!!!​

Answers

Problem 25

These triangles are congruent.

The reasoning is the AAS congruence theorem. We have two pairs of congruent angles, as shown by the arc markings, and a pair of congruent sides. The sides are not between the angles. That means AAS is slightly different from ASA. The order matters.

=====================================================

Problem 26

The triangles are not congruent

Why not? Well it all comes down to the angle placement. For the triangle on the right side, the arc is between the shared segment and the segment with the double tickmarks. The other arc is not in the proper corresponding location to be able to use SAS. It would need to be adjacent to the arc on the right for us to use SAS.

If it's hard to visualize what I mean, refer to the diagram below.

=====================================================

Problem 27

The triangles are congruent by SAS

The angles aren't marked, but recall that vertical angles are always congruent. So you could add in angle markers if you wanted, to help complete the diagram. The tickmarks of course tell us which segments are the same length. The angles are between the segments.

====================================================

Problem 28

The triangles are congruent by SSS

Like before, the tickmarks tell us which sides are the same length. So the tickmarks say that we have two pairs of congruent sides. The overlapping sides or shared sides are the third pair of congruent segments. So in reality, we have three pairs of congruent sides. It might help to break up the figure into two separate triangles.

Answer:

Option C: 20 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, surface area is just area added up. In this question, there are 4 same rectangles and 2 squares with the areas given. So you have to figure out the total.

Since there are 4 rectangles and each of them has an area of 4cm just multiply 4 by 4 to get 16.

Then, since there are 2 squares with an area of 2 cm each just multiply 2 by 2 to get 4.

Add both numbers, 16 + 4 = 20 and you get your answer.

The total surface area would be 20cm^2.
