with the pythagorean theorem

\begin{gathered} (4+3x)^2=x^2+(3+3x)^2 \\ 16+24x+9x^2=x^2+9+18x+9x^2 \\ 16+24x+9x^2=10x^2+18x+9 \\ 16+24x+9x^2-9=10x^2+18x+9-9 \\ 9x^2+24x+7=10x^2+18x \\ 9x^2+24x+7-18x=10x^2+18x-18x \\ 9x^2+6x+7=10x^2 \\ 9x^2+6x+7-10x^2=10x^2-10x^2 \\ -x^2+6x+7=0 \end{gathered}

using the formula of the quadratic equation

\begin{gathered} x_{1,\: 2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ x1=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^2-4\left(-1\right)\cdot\:7}}{2\left(-1\right)}=-1 \\ x2=\frac{-6-\sqrt{6^2-4\left(-1\right)\cdot\:7}}{2\left(-1\right)}=7 \end{gathered}

the length cannot be negative, therefore x=7

length of the shorter leg is: 7ft

length of the longer leg is: 3+3(7)= 24ft

length of the hypotenuse is: 4+3(7)= 25ft

Ramu and ravi borrowed rs 8000​
Phoenix [80]

Answer: Rs. 11,520

Step-by-step explanation:

As the method of compounding is not stated, the default of simple interest will be used.

Simple interest is a fixed amount that is paid over the course of the loan and is based on the original amount borrowed.

Formula is:

Amount owed = Amount borrowed * ( 1 + rate * time)

= 8,000 * ( 1 + 8% * 5.5 years)

= 8,000 * 1.44

= rs 11,520

What are the challenges of similar triangles?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

There are two types of similar triangle problems; these are problems that require you to prove whether a given set of triangles are similar and those that require you to calculate the missing angles and side lengths of similar triangles. Subtract both sides by 130°. Hence; By Angle-Angle (AA) rule, ΔPQR~ΔXYZ.
