Answer:
so i'm assuming you'd use Pythagoras:
so 15^2-12^2=81
square root it=9 which is I
to find T we do 41^2-9^2=1600
square root that is 40 so T=40
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 2x
x + 2x = 33
3x = 33
x = 11 feet
2x = 11 × 2
2x = 22 feet
So one piece will be 11 feet and the other will be 22 feet.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
No Solution
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-2y=8
y=2x+1
Make the first equation into where it says y=.
-2y=-4x+8
y=2x-4
Substitute either equation into the other as y=.
2x+1=2x-4 or 2x-4=2x+1
Switch terms around so they're with their like terms. Make sure it becomes the opposite when switching.
2x-2x=-1-4 or 2x-2x=4+1
0=-5 0=5
Since x did not come back to equal an answer, this problem is not workable. There is no solution to it. If you were to do it a different way, there still would not be a solution to it.
