One leg of a right triangle is 21 inches longer than the other leg, and the hypotenuse is 39 inches.

Mathematics

Valentin [98]3 years ago
4 0

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.

1. What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the x-axis ​
Ket [755]

Answer:

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the x-axis ​is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the x-axis is a horizontal line.

  • We also know a line that is perpendicular to the x-axis ​is basically a vertical line.
  • As the slope of a perpendicular line is undefined because no matter what the value of y is, the x-value remains the same.

Therefore, the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the x-axis ​is undefined.

For example, the slope between (1, 2) and (1, 4) is:

Using the slope formula

Slope = m =  [y₂ - y₁] /  [x₂ - x₁]

                 = [4 - 2] / [1 - 1]

                  = 2 / 0

                  = ∞

Ted can clear a football field of debris in 3 hours. Jacob can clear the same field in 2 hours. When they work together, the sit
Rasek [7]

Answer:

If Ted can clear a football field of debris in 3 hours, in one hour they will have cleared 1/3 of it.

If Jacob can clear a football field of debris in 2 hours, in one hour they will have cleared 1/2 of it.

So if they work together, they will clear 1/2 + 1/3, which is 5/6, in one hour.

So the equation we get is 5/6*x = 1 and if we divide both sides by 5/6 we get that x = 1.2 hours
