The lengths of the other two sides of the right triangle are 12 and 13

<h3>Pythagorean theorem </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the lengths of the other sides of the triangle

From the given information,

The other sides have lengths that are consecutive integers

Thus,

If the length of the other side is x

Then,

The hypotenuse will be x + 1

By the <em>Pythagorean theorem</em>, we can write that

(x+1)² = x² + 5²

(x+1)(x+1) = x² + 25

x² + x + x + 1 = x² + 25

x² - x² + x + x = 25 - 1

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

∴ The other leg of the right triangle is 12

Hypotenuse = x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

Hence, the lengths of the other two sides are 12 and 13

If an ant runs randomly through an enclosed
liraira [26]
The area of a circle is π (radius²)

The area of the outer (2-ft) circle is π (2²) = 4 π square feet.

The area of the inner (1-ft) circle is π (1²) = 1 π square feet.

The inner circle covers 1/4 of the area of the outer circle.

So if the ant wanders around totally aimlessly and randomly, and there's no way to
know where he came from, where he is now, or where he's going next, and there's
an equal chance of him being <em><u>anywhere in the big circle</u></em> at any time, then there's a
<u>25% chance</u> of him being inside the small circle at any time, because 1/4 of the
total area is in there.

That's choice c).
