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 2 numbers a and b whose sum is 4 and whose difference is -2​
umka21 [38]

Answer:

a = 1, b = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = 4

a - b = -2     Adding to eliminate b:

2a = 2

a = 1

So 1 + b = 4

giving b = 3.

Write the equation of the line shown in point-slope form. (2,1) (3,8)
Ulleksa [173]

<u>Answer:</u>

The line equation that passes through the given points is 7x – y = 13

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Two points are A(2, 1) and B(3, 8).

To find:

The line equation that passes through the given two points.

Solution:

We know that, general equation of a line passing through two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) in point slope form is given by

\frac{(y- y1)}{(x-x_1)}= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}

{(y- y1)= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}\times(x-x_1)..........(1)

here, in our problem x1 = 3, y1 = 8, x2 = 2 and y2 = 1.

Now substitute the values in (1)

(y-8) = \frac{(1 - 8)}{(2 - 3)}\times(x- 3)

(y -8) = \frac{(- 7)}{(-1)}(x-3)

y – 8 = 7(x – 3)

y – 8 = 7x – 21  

7x – y = 21 – 8  

7x – y = 13  

Hence, the line equation that passes through the given points is 7x – y = 13
