Answer:
y=12
Step-by-step explanation:
2*-2=-4
-6*-2=12
y=12
A and b are legs
a^2+b^2=c^2
lets say
a>b
so
a=13+3b
c=14+3b
a^2+b^2=c^2
(13+3b)^2+b^2=(14+3b)^2
9b^2+78b+169+b^2=9b^2+84b+196
10b^2+78b+169=9b^2+84b+196
minus 9b^2 both sides
b^2+78b+169=84b+196
minus 84b both sides
b^2-6b+169=196
minus 196 both sides
b^2-6b-27=0
factor
(b+3)(b-9)=0
set to zero
b+3=0
b=-3, false, dimentions cannot be negative
b-9=0
b=9
shorter leg is 9
a=13+3b
a=13+3(9)
a=13+27
a=40
c=14+3b
c=14+27
c=41
side legnths are
9in, 40in, 41in
Answer:
ST=26
Step-by-step explanation:
RS+ST=RT
17+x+16=4x+3
x+33=4x+3
33-3=4x=x
3x=30
x=30/3
x=10
ST=x+16
ST=10+16
ST=26
