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

What is the best result for h?

Kryger [21]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for "h" from the given the equation $S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$ , you need to:

Apply the Subtraction property of equality and subtract $2\pi r^2$ to both sides of the equation.

Then you need to apply the Division property of equality and divide both sides of the equation by $2\pi r$ .

Then:

$S-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2-2\pi r^2\\\\S-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh\\\\\frac{S}{2\pi r}-\frac{2\pi r^2}{2\pi r}=\frac{2\pi rh}{2\pi r}\\\\\frac{S}{2\pi r}-r=h$
