Answer:

Correct answer:  c = 29 m, a = 21 m  and b = 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a = b + 1  longer leg a

c = b + 9 hypotenuse c

To solve this problem, we will use Pythagoras' theorem

c² = a² + b²

(b + 9)² = (b + 1)² + b²  

b² + 18 b + 81 = b² + 2 b + 1 + b²

2 b² - b² + 2 b - 18 b + 1 - 81 = 0

b² - 16 b - 80 = 0  we will factorize this equation

⇒ b² - 20 b + 4 b - 80 = b (b - 20) + 4 ( b - 20) = (b - 20) · (b + 4) = 0

(b - 20) · (b + 4) = 0 ⇒ b = 20  or b = - 4  false

we accepted b = 20 m

c = b + 9 = 20 + 9 = 29 m

c = 29 m

a = b + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21 m

a = 21 m

Which solid has a greater volume? O A. Figure A 48 B. Figure B O C. they are equal A 2 O D. need more information​
MatroZZZ [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  Figure B

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is difficult to read. We assume the height of the pyramid is 9, and the radius of the cylinder is 1.

The pyramid volume is ...

  V = 1/3Bh

  V = 1/3(4²)(9) = 48 . . . cubic units

__

The cylinder volume is ...

  V = πr²h

  V = π(1²)(48) = 48π . . . cubic units

The cylinder has π times as much volume as the pyramid. Figure B is larger.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If the diameter (not the radius) of the cylinder is 1 unit, then its volume is 12π cubic units and the pyramid has more volume.

Please answer asap <br> What is the value of x in the equation 3(2x + 4) = −6?
nydimaria [60]
First divide 3 both side
Than move 4 to another side
Than divide by 2
\frac{3(2x + 4)}{3}  =  \frac{ - 6}{3 }  \\ 2x + 4 =  - 2 \\ 2x =  - 2 - 4 \\ 2x =  - 6 \\ \frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{ - 6}{2}  \\ x =  - 3
