We have this equation.
A²+B²=C²
We have bits of information that'll help us simplify the equation so there's only one variable.
The longer leg, A, is 3 inches more than the length of the shorter leg, B, tripled.
A=3B+3
Let's plug that in.
(3b+3)²+B²=C²
The hypotenuse, C, is 3 inches less than four times the length of the shorter leg. C=4B-3
Let's plug that in.
(3b+3)²+B²=(4B-3)²
Let's solve.
9B²+18B+9+B²=16B²-24B+9
10B²+18B+9=16b²-24b+9
Let's subtract 9 from both sides.
10b²+18b=16b²-24b
Let's subtract 10b² from both sides.
18b=6b²-24b
Let's add 24b from both sides.
42b=6b²
Let's divide each side by 6.
7b=b²
With this, you can tell that b is 7 since it times 7 equal itself squared.
The shorter leg is 7 inches.
Now, let's look back at the bits of information.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 3 inches more than the length of the shorter side tripled.
3(7)+3=24
So, the longer side is 24. We can either use the other information or plug it into the equation. We can do both. 
The hypotenuse is 3 less than four times the shorter leg.
4(7)-3=25
7²+24²=
49+576=625
√625=25
So, the length of the hypotenuse is 25 inches.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Word problem 3        

Step-by-step explanation:

Word Problem one is a subtraction problem since Felicia is giving away two marbles to Lucas. Word Problem two is a division problem since Felicia is evenly dividing the number of marbles she has into two bags. Word Problem three is a multiplication problem because Ryan has two times as many marbles that Felicia does. Word Problem four is an addition problem because she found two more marbles while she already has eight marbles. Keywords for subtraction word problems are: fewer than, decrease, take away, less than, minus, difference, change, lost reduced, and subtract. Keywords for division word problems are: As much, cut up, groups, equally, sharing, half, how many in each, parts, per percent, quotient, ratio, and separated. Keywords for multiplication word problems are: double, every, factor, increased, multiplied product, times, and tripled.

Estimated employment change by sector 2004–2020 a bar graph titled estimated employment change by sector from 2004 to 2020 has y
xeze [42]

The high-tech sector employees were less likely to lose their jobs option fourth is correct.

It is given that the estimated employment change by sector 2004–2020 a bar graph titled estimated employment change by sector from 2004 to 2020 has the year on the x-axis and the percentage of change in employment on the y-axis.

It is required to find the correct statement.

<h3>What is a bar chart?</h3>

It is defined as the visual way to show the data a systematically with rectangle box on the x-axis and y-axis. The height and vertical lines show the proportional data.

From the given data many businesses stagnated and had to fire employees, but these were primarily people who could be quickly replaced by someone willing to work for a lower wage.

Employees in the high-tech sector are frequently too valuable to the company to be laid off, therefore their job security was strong because no one could replace them.

Thus, the high-tech sector employees were less likely to lose their jobs option fourth is correct.

Hello!!!

The Graph's Answer is below

<u>Nicole's Pattern                   Ian's Pattern               Coordinate's Plane               </u>

 1                                                 0                                   ( 1,0)

5                                                 1                                   (5,1)

17                                                3                                 (17,3)    

53                                               7                                (53,7)    

161                                               15                              (161,15)

In order to get these answers, you start with 1 one Nicole's equation, and mutliply by 3, which gets you three. You then add two, which gets you five, after this, you continue to add Nicole's answer by three, then add five.For Ian's answer,you start with 0,then you add 1/2, which gives you .5 After you have this .5 you multiply by 2,which gives you one whole, you continue to add a half and mutliply by 2 for each answer. Nicole's answer is X,which means it is used first in our parentheses ( ),while ian's is Y and is used second.

I HOPE THIS HELPS! Good luck on your assignment and let me know if you need help with anything else <3!
