Answer:

15, 3\sqrt{5} and 6\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to solve.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

let one leg be x then the other leg is 2x, then

x² + (2x)² = 15², that is

x² + 4x² = 225

5x² = 225 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x² = 45 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{45} = \sqrt{9(5)} = 3\sqrt{5}

The other leg is 2 × 3\sqrt{5} = 6\sqrt{5}

Answer:

6.7cm, 13.4cm, 15cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be one side of the triangle. The question tells us the other side is 2x.

We can relate all 3 sides using the Pythagorean Theorem:

15^2=x^2+(2x)^2\\225=x^2+4x^2\\225=5x^2\\x^2=45\\x=6.7

That means the side lengths are 6.7cm and 2 x 6.7 cm = 13.4cm.

"at the end of the year Juan has $52.71 more than 4 times his balance at the beginning of the year if his ending balance was $17
Salsk061 [2.6K]
At the end of the year, Juan has 52.71 more than 4 times his balance at the beginning. Okay, let's set this up.

4x + 52.71
(4 times) (52.71 more)
His ending was 172.90, so
4x + 52.71=172.90
4x= 120.19
x= 30.05
He had $30.05 at the beginning of the year.
