Let
x------------> <span>The length of one leg
</span>y------------> <span>The length of second leg
</span>
we know that
H=50 cm
x=2y
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
H</span>²=x²+y²--------> 50²=(2y)²+y²---------> 2500=4y²+y²-----> y²=2500/5
y=√500--------> y=22.4 cm
<span>so
</span>x=2y--------> x=2*22.4--------> x=44.8 cm
<span>
the answer is
</span><span>the lengths of the legs of the triangle are
</span>44.8 cm
and
22.4 cm
Answer:
- distance traveled: 30 m
- displacement: 21.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the distance traveled and the displacement after walking 17 m south and 13 m east.
<h3>Distance</h3>
The distance traveled is the sum of the lengths of each leg of the trip:
17 m + 13 m = 30 m
You have traveled a distance of 30 m.
<h3>Displacement</h3>
The displacement is the distance from your final position to your starting position. If you draw a diagram of the journey, you see the displacement is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 17 m and 13 m. The Pythagorean theorem can help you find this length:
h = √(a² +b²)
h = √(17² +13²) = √(289 +169) = √458 ≈ 21.401
At the end of your walking, you are 21.4 m from where you started.
X^2 - 3x + 5
2^2 - 3(2) + 5

Answer: Symmetric Property
Explanation: The symmetric property states that x = y, then y = x.
So the symmetric property allows us to
switch the left and right sides of an equation.
