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.

Find the missing side lengths. leave your answers as radicals in simplest form.

Answer:

x = 4 , y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine / tangent ratios in the right triangle and the exact values

sin60° = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} and tan60° = \sqrt{3} , then

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{2\sqrt{3} }{x} = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} ( cross- multiply )

x \sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

x = 4

and

tan60° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{2\sqrt{3} }{y} = \sqrt{3} ( multiply both sides by y )

y \sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

y = 2

The formula for the volume of a sphere is the following:

V= \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3

Plug in V=5000π and solve for the radius.

5000 \pi = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3

Divide both sides by \pi

5000 = \dfrac{4}{3} r^3

Multiply both sides by 3/4 (to eliminate the 4/3 on the right side)
Also, flip the equation so we have the unknown variable on the left side (math etiquette).

r^3=3750

Take the cube root of both sides

r \approx 15.5

Now, calculate the surface area since now we know the radius.
The formula for the surface area is the following:

S=4 \pi r^2

Plug in r=15.5

S \approx 3033

The second choice is your answer.
