8, 15, 17

You can do this by using the Pythagorean Theorem and setting the sides equal to

shorter leg = x
longer leg = x + 7
hypotenuse = 2x + 1

Then solve so that one side is equal to zero and use the quadratic formula.

Answer:

<h2>The dimensions of the right triangle are 8, 15 and 17.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to express the problem in equations. We will use the pythagorean theorem because we have a right triangle.

The longer side we're gonna call it l.

The shorter side will be s

The hypothenuse will be h

Now, the problem is giving us relations.

<h3>"The hypothenuse is one foot more than twice the length of the shorter leg"</h3>

This can be expressed like h=1+2s

<h3>"The longer leg is seven feet longer than the shorter leg"</h3>

This can be expressed like l=7+s

Now, applying the pythagorean theorem, we have:

h^{2}=s^{2}+l^{2}\\(1+2s)^{2}= s^{2}+(7+s)^{2}\\1+4s+4s^{2}= s^{2}+49+14s+s^{2}\\ 2s^{2}-10s-48=0\\s^{2}-5s-24=0\\(s-8)(s+3)=0\\s=8\\s=-3

From these values, we use the positive one, because it refers to length. Replacing this value in each expression, we find each element of the triangle:

h=1+2s=1+2(8)=17

l=7+s=15

Therefore, the dimensions of the right triangle are 8, 15 and 17.

AREA COVERED BY THE ANGLE IN A SEMI SPHERE

AREA = ANGLE   \: \: IN  \: \:  RADIAN  \times RADIUS

Total Area Of The Semi Sphere:-

AREA =   \pi \times radius  \\  \\ AREA = \pi \times 2 = 2\pi

Area Under Unshaded Part .

Given a triangle with each side 2 units.

This proves that it's is a equilateral triangle which means it's all angles r of 60° or π/3 Radian

So AREA :-

AREA =  \frac{\pi}{3}  \times radius \\  \\ AREA =  \frac{\pi}{3}  \times 2 \\  \\ AREA =  \frac{2\pi}{3}

Total Area - Area Under Unshaded Part

Area= 2\pi -  \frac{2\pi}{3}  \\ Area =  \frac{6\pi - 2\pi}{3}   \\ Area =  \frac{4\pi}{3}  \:  \: ans
