Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A right triangle whose legs has lengths equal to 10 inches and 9x inches and Its hypotenuse measures (x + 10) inches.

According to the pythagoras theorem, sum of square of the legs of a right angle triangle equals the square of hypotenuse.

so, 10²+(9x)²=(x+10)²

i.e. 100+81x²=x²+100+20x

      80x²-20x=0

   20x(4x-1)=0

so, either x=0 or x=1/4

x=0 is not possible since length of one leg is 9x and it can't be zero

Hence, x=1/4 i.e. x+10=10+1/4

                                  = 10.25

so, approximate length of hypotenuse=10.25 inches

List the integers that satisfy both these inequalities, 2x+9 -12
Flura [38]

Answer:

x < -10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

list the integers that satisfy both these inequalities, 2x+9 <-12

Subtract 9 from  both sides;

2x +9 - 9 < -12-9

2x < -21

x < -21/2

x < -10.5

<em>Hence all the integers are values of x less than 10.5</em>

You would need to change the slope to -6 because perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.
