Take the longer leg length as x

(x-8)^2+x^2=(x+8)^2 \\ \\ x^2-16x+64+x^2=x^2+16x+64 \\ \\ x^2-32x=0

Use the formular
x={ \frac{-b+ \sqrt{ b^2-4ac}}{2a} } \\ \\ x={ \frac{32+32}{2} } \\ \\ x=32

∴ shorter leg = 32 - 8 = 24ft
longer leg = 32ft
hypotenuse = 32 + 8 = 40ft

Solve the system using substitution: x = -4y and x + 5y = 2<br> Please and thank you.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

x = - 8, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x =  - 4y......(1) \\ x + 5y = 2....(2) \\ plug \: x =  - 4y \: in \: equation \: (2) \\  - 4y + 5y = 2 \\ y = 2 \\ plug \: y = 2 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ x =  - 4(2) \\ x =  - 8\\

***URGENT*** PLEASE HELP ME ASAP, ITS DUE TODAY!!!
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Construct MN.

Since M is the midpoint of OA, OM = MA

Similarly, N is the midpoint of OB.

Thus, ON = NB.

Now, in Δs OMN and OAB,

∠MON = ∠AOB (common angle)

(sides are in proportional ratio; OA = 2OM and OB = 2ON)

∴ Δs OMN and OAB are similar (2 sides are in proportion, with the included angle)

Since they are similar, then ∠OMN = ∠OAB (corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal)

But since ∠OMN = ∠OAB, then that means MN || AB (corresponding angles of two lines must be equal since they also sit relative to the transverse line, OA)

Thus, AB || MN (QED)
