Suppose the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+3, and the hypotenuse is x+6
x^2 +(x+3)^2 =(x+6)^2
x^2 + x^2 + 6x +9=x^2 + 12x +36
x^2-6x-27=0
(x+3)(3-9)=0
x=-3, which is impossible, or x=9
so the shorter leg is 9mm, the longer leg is 12mm, and the hypotenuse is 15mm

How do you factor the expression<br> 20k+50
Aliun [14]
Answer is 10(2k+5)

-----------------------------------

Work Shown:

20k+50 = 10*2k + 10*5
20k+50 = 10(2k+5)

Note how we can distribute the 10 back in to check our work
10(2k+5) = 10(2k)+10(5) = 20k+50
so that confirms we have the right answer

Another thing to notice is that 10 is the largest factor that we can pull out of 20k and 50. The value 10 is the GCF (greatest common factor) of 20 and 50.

The side lengths of a triangle are 6, 8 and 12. Is this a right triangle?
Anna [14]

Answer:

No it's not. 6 to the 2nd power + 8 to the 2nd power ≠ 12 to the 2nd power

Step-by-step explanation:

If you square the shorter lengths and add them together, they add up to one hundred

6^2 + 8^2 --> 38 + 64 = 100

Once you square 12 it equals 144

144 does not equal 100. There for it can't be a right triangle. To be a right triangle, it has to have a ratio pf 3: 4: 5.

Ex: 6: 8: 10,  12: 16: 20, etc.

Hope this helps!
