Let x represent the length of the shorter leg.

Longer leg: 5x +19
Hypotenuse: 5x +20

Pythagorean theorem:
.. x^2 +(5x +19)^2 = (5x +20)^2
.. x^2 +25x^2 +190x +19^2 = 25x^2 +200x +20^2 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x^2 -10x -39 = 0
.. (x -13)(x +3) = 0
.. x = 13 . . . . . . . . . . leg lengths must be positive

The side length of the triangle are 13, 84, 85 feet.

What is 3/5 ● 8/9 A. 8/15 B. 11/14 C. 27/40 D. 91/40​
vodomira [7]
Answer:
3/5*8/9=8/15; A

Explanation:
First, you want to multiply both of the numerators together. 3*8=24.
Then, you want to multiply both of the denominators together. 5*9=45.
If you put the numerator and the denominator together, it comes out to be 24/45.
Lastly, you want to simplify 24/45. Divide those both by 3, and you get 8/15.
Hope that helps!

Mr. Jones wants to add a cement path around his new pool. The pool has a radius of 7 feet. The cement path will be 1 foot wide a
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The square footage of the path is 47.1 ft²

The area of a circle is:

A = πr²

Where r is the radius of the circle.

Let us assume that the pool is a circle.

Given that the pool has a radius (r₁) of 7 feet and a path 1 foot wide would go round the pool.

Radius of pool and cement path (r₂) = 7 ft + 1 ft = 8 ft.

The square footage of the path =  πr₂² - πr₁² = π*8² - π * 7² = 47.1 ft²

Hence The square footage of the path is 47.1 ft²
