Answer:

The side lengths of the triangle, in order, are 11 inches, 60 inches, 61 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter leg be x, the longer leg, y and the hypotenus, z.

y = 16 + 4x

z = 17 + 4x

By Pythagoras rule,

z^2 = x^2 + y^2

(17+4x)^2 = x^2 + (16+4x)^2

that is,

x^2 - 8x - 33 = 0  (A quadratic equation)

By factorising,

(x+3)(x-11)=0

either x = -3 or x = 11.

But length cannot be negative. Hence, -3 is dicarded.

x = 11 inches

y = 16 + 4x = 60 inches

z = 17 + 4x = 61 inches

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the mentioned information, the sample space of the experiment is as follows: S= {7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18} The outcomes of the event E are as follows: E = {7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} Therefore, the outcomes of Ec can be calculated as:

E^{c} = {xlx ∈ S , x ∉ E}

Ec = {13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18}

The outcomes of E^{c} are {13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18} .

The obtained outcomes of the set Ec are {13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18} . These are calculated by subtracting the outcomes of the event E from the elements of sample space S.
