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

A closed rectangular tank measures 12 meters by 6 by 10 meters find the surface area of the tank
DochEvi [55]
We know that
surface area of the tank=2*area of the base+perimeter of base*height

area of the base=12*6----> 72 m²
perimeter of the base=2*[12+6]----> 36 m
height=10 m
so
surface area of the tank=2*72+36*10----> 144+360----> 504 m²

the answer is
the surface area of the tank is 504 m²

Adrian is a songwriter who collects royalties on his songs whenever they are played in a commercial or a movie. Adrian will earn
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of songs are played in a commercial be a

     number of songs are played in a movie be b

Adrian earned a total of $1010 -> a*40 + b*130 = 1010  (1)

14 commercials and movies -> a+b = 14                          (2)

(1) - (2)*40 =  a*40 + b*130 - a*40 -b*40 = 1010 -14*40

-> b*90 = 450

-> b = 5

-> a = 14-5 = 9
