How to solve this pythagoras theorem

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the longest side thus is (4x + 1)

The legs are 2x and (4x - 1)

Using Pythagoras' theorem, then

(4x + 1)² = (2x)² + (4x - 1)² ← expanding factors

16x² + 8x + 1 = 4x²  + 16x² - 8x + 1 , that is

16x² + 8x + 1 = 20x² - 8x + 1 ( subtract 20x² - 8x + 1 from both sides )

- 4x² + 16x = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

4x² - 16x = 0 ← factor out 4x from each term

4x(x - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

4x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Now x > 0, thus x = 4

2x = 2(4) = 8

4x - 1 = 4(4) - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15

4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

Thus

perimeter = 8 + 15 + 17 = 40 cm

Alicia will construct a rectangle that has a height of 4 units and an area of up to 48 square units. Which inequality represents
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

b ≤ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is given by length multiplied by breadth.

The area of the rectangle up to 48 units square means that it can be 48 or less than 48.

If the height given is taken as the width of the rectangle then we can find the base which will be the length of the rectangle.

Area = length * breadth

4units * base ≤ 48 units square

base ≤ 48 units square/4 units

base ≤ 12 units

b ≤ 12 units

Can someone help me identify c(6)=
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, simply plug 6 in for m in the equation.

C(6) = 50(6) + 79.50

6 times 50 is 300.

300 + 79.50 = 379.50 = C(6)

The answer is 379.5

(Looking at the question again, I don't think what I said is what it is asking for, soo)

The slope of the function given represents the amount that needs to be paid every month. The y-intercept (79.50) represents the initial cost (starting amount) for paying the membership.

Solve the quadratic equation:<br> 3x^2+x-5=0
adell [148]

3x²+x-5=0

a = 3, b = 1, c= -5

-> ∆ ( delta ) = b²-4ac = 61 > 0

-> x1 =( -b+√∆ )÷ 2a =...

x2 = (-b-√∆)÷2a =...

p/s: do your teachers teach you how to use ∆ ( delta ) in maths calculation ? i live in europe and our teachers teach us that way. however, it is a rịght and fast way. you should learn it.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

{ \rm{slope =  \frac{y _{2} - y _{1} }{x _{2} - x _{1}  } }} \\  \\ { \rm{slope =  \frac{9 - ( - 5)}{6 - ( - 1)} }} \\  \\ { \rm{slope =  \frac{14}{7} }} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \rm{ \:  \: slope = 2 \:  \: }}}
