Short leg = x-6m
Longer leg =x
Hypotenuse = x+6m

x² + (x-6)² =(x+6)²
x² + x²-12x+36 = x²+12x+36
2x²-12x+36= x² +12x+36
2x²-12x+36-36= x² +12x+36-36
2x² - 12x-12x = x²+12x-12x
2x² -24x-x² = x²-x²
x² -24x = 0
x(x-24)=0
x = 24

Short leg = 24-6m = 18
Longer leg =24
Hypotenuse = 24+6m=30

Check
a² + b² = c²
18² +24² =30²
324 +576 = 900
900=900

4) Arnold ate breakfast at a restaurant. His total came to $76.75. There is an 8% sales tax and 15% tip. What is Arnold's total
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The total cost is $95.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total came to $76.75. There is an 8% sales tax and 15% tip.

Now, to find the total cost.

<em>8% sales tax is there so we calculate the amount after adding sales tax:</em>

$76.75 + 8% of $76.75

76.75+\frac{8}{100}\times 76.75

76.75+0.08\times 76.75

76.75+6.14

82.89

The cost after sales tax is $82.89.

Now, <em>the cost after 15% tip:</em>

$82.89 + 15% of $82.89

82.89+\frac{15}{100}\times 82.89

82.89+0.15\times 82.89

82.89+12.43

95.32

The cost after the tip is $95.32.

Therefore, the total cost is $95.32.
