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 answer would be A!

Whenever there is a fraction in the exponent, the numerator is under the square root, and the denominator is on the outside of the square root!

Additionally, since the negative is outside of the square toot, then it also outside of the parenthesis.

Hello there! The area of the triangle portion is 11 square units, the area of the rectangle portion is 77 square units, and the area of the entire figure is 88 square units.

To find the area of the triangle, we can follow the formula:

A = LW/2 (which means length x width divided by 2)

Given the formula:

2 • 11 = 22

22 divided by 2 gives us 11 square units.

To find the area of the rectangle portion, we can follow the area formula:

A = LW (which means area = length x width)

Given the formula:

7 • 11 = 77 square units

To find the area of the whole figure, we add the areas of both isolated shapes:

11 + 77 = 88 square units.

Therefore, our area for the entire figure is 88 square units. If you need any extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
