In a right triangle, one of the legs is 5 cm smaller than the hypotenuse, and the other leg is 10 cm smaller than the hypotenuse

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the hypotenuse is x cm long the 2 legs are x-5 and x-10 cm long.

So by the Pythagoras theorem:

x^2 = (x - 5)^2 + (x - 10)^2

x^2 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + x^2 - 20x + 100

x^2 - 30x + 125 = 0

(x - 5)(x - 25) = 0

x = 5, 25

We can discard x = 5 because that would make the lengths of the legs negative so the hypotenuse = 25 cm long.

A mail order company charges 4.5% for shipping and handling. If the total order is 54.34 how much was the order total before shi

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Amount charged for shipping and handling = 4.5%

Let cost of order = x

Total amount charged = 54.34

However,

total. Amount charged = (total cost + handling and shipping)

54.34 = x + 0.045x

54.34 = 1.045x

Order total before shipping = 54.34 / 1.045

Order total before shipping = 52
