Answer:
C] 13 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Well the equation is (A^2)+(B^2)=(C^2)
A= x
B= 2x
C will always be the longest side because it is the Hypotenuse = 25
So if you plug in those numbers into the equation...
(x^2) + (2x^2) = (25^2)
x^2 + 4x^2 = 625
Combine like terms
5x^2 = 625
Divide by five to both sides
x^2 = 125
Then Square root,
x = sqrt(125)
x = sqrt(25* 5)
x = 5sqrt(5)
They could look at the length of the book and the size of the font to estimate the length of a book.
I don't know if this is the right one but i hope this helps. this is how i learned it.
step 1=get variables on one side oof the equal sign by using inverse operation (add or subtract smaller variable)
step 2= get constants away from variable to the other side of the equal sign by using inverse operations (add or subtract constant)
step 3: isolate the variable using inverse operation (multiply or divide)
