The square's side length is 24/7 or 3.428 units if the square is inscribed in a right triangle with leg lengths 6 and 8 such that they have a common right angle.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.

First we have to find the line that goes through the points (0, 6) and (8, 0)

(y - 0) = (0-6)/(8-0)(x-8)

y = (-6/8)[x - 8]

Plug y = x

x = (-6/8)[x - 8]

After solving:

x = 24/7 or 3.428

y = 24/7 or 3.428

Thus, the square's side length is 24/7 or 3.428 units if the square is inscribed in a right triangle with leg lengths 6 and 8 such that they have a common right angle.

Find the value of k by<br>quardractic equation two real and equal roots<br>5x - 2kx +20=0​
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

k = +10 or -10

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given in the question that the roots of the eqn. are real and equal. So , the discriminant of the eqn. should be equal to 0.

=  >  {b}^{2}  - 4ac = 0

=  >  {( - 2k)}^{2}  - 4 \times 5 \times 20 = 0

=  > 4 {k}^{2}  - 400 = 0

=  > 4( {k}^{2}  - 100) = 0

=  >  {k}^{2}  - 100 = 0

=  > k =  \sqrt{100}  =  + 10 \: or \:  - 10
