Note that c is the hypotenuse of the blue triangle, and that the Pyth. Thm. states that (length of one leg)^2 + (length of the other leg)^2 = (hyp)^2.
Therefore, (hyp)^2 = c^2 = [2sqrt(x^2+3x)]^2 + 3^2, or
= 4(x^2+3x) + 9, or
= 4x^2 + 12x + 9 = (2x+3)^2
Taking the sqrt of both sides, c = plus or minus (2x+3). Eliminate -(2x+3) because the middle term of the square of this would be negative, in conflict with the given +12x.
c=2x+3 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the two shorter legs of the top triangle is
The bottom triangle has the following ratio:
Since their ratios are the same, this means that the two triangles are similar.
The way the question is written, you could have almost anything in your hand. All they have to do is add to - 12.
-14 and 2
- 11 and - 1
-12 and 0
- 82 and 70

Answer:
0.09375 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, it is given that Samuel has 3/4 tons of mulch i.e. 0.75 tons of mulch.
Again it is given that Samuel has to spread equally this amount of mulch in 8 square yards of the plot.
Since the mulch is spread uniformly, then we can say that in each square yard of the plot (0.75/8) = 0.09375 tons of mulch is been spread.
Therefore, 0.09375 tons of mulch will be spread in each square yard. (Answer)
