The length of the long leg of a right triangle is 16 inches more than four times of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenus

e is 17 inches more than four times the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

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

Answer:

24°

Step-by-step explanation:

(4y-4)+(180-52)+3y = 180°

4y-4+128+3y = 180

7y+124 = 180

7y = 56

y = 8

SO ∠x = 3y

∠x = 3(8)

∠x = 24

7. In the accompanying diagram of rhombus CDEF, diagonal FD is drawn and the
tatiyna

Answer:

m∠CFD is 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the rhombus

  • Diagonals bisect the vertex angles
  • Every two adjacent angles are supplementary (their sum 180°)

Let us solve the question

∵ CDEF is a rhombus

∵ ∠E and ∠F are adjacent angles

→ By using the second property above

∴ ∠E and ∠F are supplementary

∵ The sum of the measures of the supplementary angles is 180°

∴ m∠E + m∠F = 180°

∵ m∠E = 40°

∴ 40° + m∠F = 180°

→ Subtract 40 from both sides

∵ 40 - 40 + m∠F = 180 - 40

∴ m∠F = 140°

∵ FD is a diagonal of the rhombus

→ By using the first property above

∴ FD bisects ∠F

→ That means FD divides ∠F into 2 equal angles

∴ m∠CFD = m∠EFD = \frac{1}{2} m∠F

∴ m∠CFD = \frac{1}{2} (140°)

∴ m∠CFD = 70°

Angles A and B are congruent. Find the value of x. Show all work to receive credit.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

  x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides opposite congruent angles are congruent:

  x + 10 = 2x - 5

  15 = x . . . . . . . . . add 5-x

The value of x is 15.

_____

I suppose you could show the intermediate step:

  x +10 +(5 -x) = 2x -5 +(5 -x)

  15 = x . . . . . simplified

when a negative number adds a negative number, it will be negative

when a negative number adds a positive number, whichever number (either positive or negative) take the sign of the bigger one

For example:

-4 + 3 = -1

-5 + 10 = 5



hope this helps
