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

Ares of a rectangular floor of your house is Ax+5x-2. if the length is x+2 units, find A​
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: In the expression of area the first term should be Ax^2.

It is given that area of a rectangular floor of your house is Ax^2+5x-2 and the length is (x+2) units.

We know that, area of a rectangle is

Area=length\times width

Since length of the rectangle is (x+2), therefore (x+2) is a factor of Ax^2+5x-2 and the value of Ax^2+5x-2 is 0 at x=-2.

A(-2)^2+5(-2)-2=0

4A-10-2=0

4A-12=0

4A=12

Divide both sides by 4.

A=4

Therefore, the value of A is 4.

Solve for w p=1.2w/h^2
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Solve for w:
p = (1.2 w)/h^2
(1.2 w)/h^2 = (6 w)/(5 h^2):
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2)
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2) is equivalent to (6 w)/(5 h^2) = p:
(6 w)/(5 h^2) = p
Multiply both sides by (5 h^2)/6:
Answer:  w = (5 h^2 p)/6

Can someone help me with these 2 questions real quick?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

<M = 32 and <Y = 103

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since triangle BCM is congruent to triangle ZYR, we know the corresponding parts of the triangles are congruent. Therefore, <Z = <B = 45. The sum of a triangle’s angles is 180, so <M = 180 - <B - <C = 180 - 45 - 103 = 32

2. This is the exact same diagram, so we can use the information we have collected in #1. Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, <Y must be congruent to <C, which equals 103. Therefore, <Y = 103.

I hope this helps! :)
