<span>c=52, a=2b+8
a^2+b^2=c^2
(2b+8)^2+b^2=52^2
4b^2+32b+64+b^2=2704
5b^2+32b-2640=0 see below
b=20, a=48

Answer: 120 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 52 in.

Let the length of one leg be x, then the length of other leg will be 2x+8

By Pythagoras theorem of right triangle, we have

52^2=x^2+(2x+8)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2704=x^2+4x^2+32x+64\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2704=5x^2+32x+64\\\\\Rightarrow\5x^2+32x-2640=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x-20)(5x+132)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=20\ or\ x=\dfrac{-132}{5}\ \ \ \text{[side cannot be negative]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=20

Perimeter of triangle will be:

52+x+(2x+4)\\\\=52+20+(2(20)+8)\\\\=120\text{ in.}

  • Pythagoras theorem of right triangle says that the square of the hypotenuse  is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

What is the slope and y-intercept of the line -x-7y=-56?
Vinvika [58]
Equation of line: Y= mX + c
where m is slope and c is y intercept.
rewrite equation to be,
-x-7y=-56
-7y=x-56
7y= -x +56 
y = -1/7 x +8 

slope = -1/7
y intercept = 8

Answer:

Area of PSTK = 50

Step-by-step explanation:
