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

Angelina wants to buy the same number of pens and pencils. Pens come in 8 packs and pencils come in packs of 9. What is the leas
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Angelina should buy 9 packs of pens and 8 packs of pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pack of pens = 8 pens

Each pack of pencils = 9 pencils.

Also we know that, Commutative Property of Multiplication states that

a x b = b x a for any two numbers a and b.

So, 8 x 9 = 72 = 9 x 8

Hence, she should buy 9 packs of pens, so she will have 9 x 8 = 72 pens.

And she should buy 8 packs of pencils, she will have 8 x 9 = 72 pencils.

Which expressions are equivalent to -6n + (-12) + 4n ?
raketka [301]
The expression equivalent to the fort is a) 4(n-3) -6n, if you so the math for the first one do what is inside the parenthesis first. (think PEMDAS) Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. So the first thing it gives you is -6n +(-12) Well, a negative + a negative = a negative! So, -6+-12= -18, then add your caroable. So, -18n. Now, you add -18n with what you have left so 4n -18+4 is -14n. So, if you do answer a) (n-3) = (1n-3)= (1-3) =-2. -2×4=-8n because a negative × a positive = a negative because they have different signs. From there you have -8n - (6) Instead of subtracting you just add a negative So, you would rewrite your problem as: -8n+(-6)= -14n the same thing you got as your orginal. Hope tj
his helped! Don't forget about adding you variables and PEMDAS!! Also d po not forget about your positive a negative rules!!!
