Valentin [98]3 years ago

Answer:

One leg - 15 inches

Second leg - 36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

One leg - x inches.

Second leg - (x + 21) inches.

Hypotenuse - 39 inches.

Using Pythagorean theorem

x² + (x + 21)² = 39²

x² + x² + 2*21x  + 21² = 39²

2x² + 42x - 39² + 21² = 0

2x² + 42x - 1080 = 0

x² + 21x - 540 = 0

(x - 15)(x + 36) = 0

x = 15, x = - 36

We can use only positive value.

One leg - x inches = 15 inches

Second leg - (x + 21) inches = 15+21=36 inches.

The following figure shows A ABC with side lengths to the nearest tenth.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

17.7

Step-by-step explanation:

angle B = 180 - 81 - 65 = 34 degrees

as the sum of all angles in any triangle is always 180 degrees.

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

the sides are always on the opposite side of the angle.

so,

10/sin(34) = AB/sin(81)

AB = 10×sin(81) / sin(34) = 17.7
