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.

densk [106]

Answer:

90 minutes or 1.30 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 72 minutes, Sue ran 12 miles per hour

In 1 minute, Sue ran 12/72 miles per hour

In 60 minutes, Sue ran (12/72)*60 miles per hour

= 10 miles per hour

Remaining miles after completing 12 miles in 72 minutes = (24-12) = 12 miles.

If the mileage decreases to 2 miles per hour, he will now run = (10 - 2) = 8 miles per hour.

Now,

1 hour = 60 minutes

Sue can run 8 miles in 60 minutes

Sue can run 1 miles in 60/8 minutes

Sue can run 12 miles in (60/8)*12 minutes

= 90 minutes or 1.30 hours
