Answer:
The correct answer is A) x = 2 and y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer, we need to set the hypotenuses equal to each other. Then we can solve for y to get the equation.
y - 1 = x + 3
y = x + 4
Now we can do the same with the leg lengths.
y - 3 = 2x - 1
y = 2x + 2
Now that we have two equations, we can set them equal to each other to get the x value.
x + 4 = 2x + 2
4 = x + 2
2 = x
Now that we have x, we can plug it into any equation to get the y value.
y = x + 4
y = 2 + 4
y = 6
5+5=10
15-5=10
5x2=10
20/2=10
10^1 (10 to the power of 1) or 0.1^-1 (0.1 to the power of -1)
