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

Write an equation for your trend line?
Soloha48 [4]
Find two points on the graph that the line crosses through almost perfectly. It looks like (1,10) and (9,1) will do.

Use them to compute the slope:
m = (1 - 10) / (9 - 1)
= -9/8

Then set up the "point-slope form":
y - y0 = m * (x - x0)

You choose some point (x0, y0) that the line crosses through. We already know the line passes through (1,10) pretty well, so let's use that.

x0 = 1
y0 = 10

Now finish plugging into the equation:
y - 10 = -9/8 * (x - 1)

The above equation will work fine for an answer, but let's go a step further and solve for y.

y - 10 = -9/8x + 9/8
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 10
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 80/8
y = -9/8x + (9 + 80)/8
y = -9/8x + 89/8

How to find the area of a polygon
ipn [44]
The rectangle is 7 x 4 so the area is 28 sq cm
The triangle has a base of 4 and a height of 3.
The formula is A = 1/2 * b*h
You have 2 triangles so:
2(1/2)*4*3= 12 sq cm
Add together:
28 + 12= 40 sq cm

Graph the line with slope – 2 passing through the point (-5,5).
34kurt

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + b

- To find the y-intercept, plug the values of the variables.

5 = -2(-5) + b

5 = 10 + b

- Subtract 10 from both sides.

-5 = b

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 4c + 9 + 7c - 5 + 5c + 2 + 5c - 3

                = 4c +7c + 5c +5c + 9 - 5 + 2  - 3

                 = 21c + 3
