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 BE = 2x + 2, BD = 5x – 3, and AE = 4x – 6, what are the values of x and AC?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer: x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. (i)

Here in parallelogram ABCD , AC and Bd are diagonals intersecting at E.

BE = 2x + 2, BD = 5x – 3, and AE = 4x – 6

Using (i)

BE=\dfrac{BD}{2}\\\\2x+2=\dfrac{5x-3}{2}\\\\ 2(2x+2)=5x-3\\\\ 4x+4= 5x-3\\\\ 5x-4x=4+3\\\\ x= 7

Now , AE = 4(7)-6 = 28-6 = 22

AC =2 AE = 2 (22) =44 units.

Hence, x=7 and AC = 44 unuts.

Suppose y is directly proportional to x. If y= 24 when x=2, what is the value of x when y= 144?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Because y=24 and x=2 you do the following:

144/24=6

Then, 6x2=12 because it is proportional

Or you could do 24/2=12 and 144/12=12
