Answer:

4\sqrt{13}

4\sqrt{13} + 8

4\sqrt{13} + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

as per the given information:

shorter leg = x

longer leg = x + 8

hypotonuse = x + 8 + 8

remember the Pythagorean theorem, which states

x^2 + y^2 = n^2

where <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> are the legs and <em>n</em> is the hypotenuse

so now one can set up an equation:

x^2 + ( x + 8 )^2 = ( x + 16 ) ^2

simplify and solve using inverse operations:

first preform the square

x^2 + x^2 + 16x + 64 = x^2 + 32x + 256

then preform inverse opertations and simplify

2x^2 + 16x + 64 = x^2 + 32x + 256

-x^2                       -x^2

x^2 + 16x + 64 = 32x + 256

       -16x            -16x

x^2 + 64 = 16x + 256

       - 64             -64

x^2 = 16x + 192

-16x     -16x

x^2 - 16 = 192

x^2 -4^2 = 192

remember the differnt ways of writing a special square

(x - 4) (x + 4) = 192

x = 4\sqrt{13}

now add 8 to find the longer leg

4\sqrt{13} + 8

an add another 8 to find the hypotenuse

4\sqrt{13} + 8 + 8

4\sqrt{13} + 16

How do I find X in this problem
pogonyaev
You know that BC is congruent to x so you need to solve for x using the ratio:
\frac{12}{24}=\frac{x}{BC}

So then we need to find BC.

We know:
A=\frac{base \times height}{2}
28=\frac{BC \times 7}{2}
Therefore BC =8

Then:
\frac{12}{24}=\frac{x}{8}
x=8 \times \frac{12}{24} = 4
