Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
This is a 45-45-90 triangle
First, you know that Jackson (let call her J) scored 41 more points than L (Leslie). What we don't know is how many points L scored so we can use a variable that will be 'x'.
So the equation will be
J=41+x.
We also know that the total points is 1,189.
To find out what x is we first subtract
1,189-41. We then get 1,148.
We are now left with 2x and 1,148 so we divide
1,148 by 2 and get 574.
574=x so now we can plug that in.
J= 574+41
Jackson scored 615 points and
Leslie scored 574 points
(You can use bar modeling to do solve this problem. An example of bar modeling is shown below.
Answer:
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
just use the pythagorean theorem!!
square 12 and 16 to get 144 and 256
add those together to get 400, and then just take the square root of 400 (which is 20)
this means that x=20!
hope this helps!! :)
