Answer: 35 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
hypotenuse = 5*y in
cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in
cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in
The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:
5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76
5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76
We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.
The shorter leg is x + 3, then:
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
Then we have the equations:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.
x = 5*y - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20
x = 5*y - 20
Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76
15*y - 40 + 13 = 76
15*y - 29 = 76
15*y = 76 + 29 = 105
and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:
3*(5*y) = 105
5*y = 105/3 = 35
5*y = 35
Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.
Answer:
N=9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Question: <u>10=2N+1</u>
1) Subtract 1 from both sides:
9=2N
2) Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
N=9/2

Answer:
(3.5,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Midpoint= (x¹+x²/2, y¹+y²/2)
x¹=4
x²=3
y¹=0
y²=6
Put your values into the formula
(4+3/2,0+6/2)
(7/2, 6/2)
(3.5,3)
The correct answer is Choice D: 68%.
You have to make a tree diagram with all of the possibilities.
Here are the possibilities:
Rain - Win = 0.6 x 0.8 = 0.48
Rain - Loss = 0.6 x 0.2 = 0.12
No Rain - Win = 0.4 x 0.5 = 0.2
No Rain - Loss = 0.4 x 0.5 = 0.2
Adding up the two winning options gives us 68%
0.48 + 0.2 = 0.68
