Hello there!


The Pythagorean Theorem is:

a² + b² = c²

We have b = 48 and c = 50

Remember: The hypotenuse is always longer.

a² + 48² = 50²

a² + 2304 = 2500

a² = 2500 - 2304

a² = 196

a = √196

a = 14

The missing length is 14.

Let me know if you have any questions. As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!

Answer:

the missing length is 14 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:  For right angle triangle,

Sum of the squares of the two side = Square of longest side    i.e,

a² + b² = c²                  ......[1]

In the given right triangle:

we are given the measurements for the hypotenuse, c = 50 unit, and one leg, b= 48 unit.

The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle and it is always the longest side of the triangle.

To find the length of leg a:

Putting the values of b and c in equation [1];

a^2+(48)^2=(50)^2 or

a^2+2,304=2500 or

a^2=2500-2304 = 196 unit

∴ a= \sqrt{196}

⇒ a= 14 unit

Therefore, the missing length a is ,  14 unit

(x+2)·2x + (x-1)^2= 2 ?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

x = 1/3, x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(x + 2) + (x - 1)² = 2

Distribute the 2x into x + 2.

2x² + 4x + (x - 1)² = 2

Square (x - 1).

2x² + 4x + x² - x - x + 1 = 2

Combine terms.

2x² + x² + 4x - 2x + 1 = 2

Combine terms again.

3x² + 2x + 1 = 2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

3x² + 2x - 1 = 0

Factor.

(3x - 1)(x + 1) = 0.

Finding the x-values here is the same thing as finding the 0s, so set both of the expressions to 0.

3x - 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides.

3x = 1

Divide by 3.

x = 1/3.

x + 1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides.

x = -1.
