A and b are legs
a^2+b^2=c^2
lets say
a>b

so
a=13+3b
c=14+3b

a^2+b^2=c^2
(13+3b)^2+b^2=(14+3b)^2
9b^2+78b+169+b^2=9b^2+84b+196
10b^2+78b+169=9b^2+84b+196
minus 9b^2 both sides
b^2+78b+169=84b+196
minus 84b both sides
b^2-6b+169=196
minus 196 both sides
b^2-6b-27=0
factor
(b+3)(b-9)=0
set to zero
b+3=0
b=-3, false, dimentions cannot be negative

b-9=0
b=9

shorter leg is 9

a=13+3b
a=13+3(9)
a=13+27
a=40

c=14+3b
c=14+27
c=41

side legnths are
9in, 40in, 41in

Use rounding to estimate the product of 5, 555 and 4, 444. Round both numbers to the nearest thousand to find your answer.
uranmaximum [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

5,555 can be rounded up to 6,000 because the 5 next to the five thousand will make it go up. while the 4,444 will round to 4,000 . I don't have a clear answer but I hope this helps.
