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.
Multiply each hourly rate by x ( time to complete the work) add it to the service call for each and then set the equations equal:
50 + 40x = 30 +45x
Subtract 30 from both sides:
20 + 40x = 45x
Subtract 40x from both sides:
20 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5
x = 4
The length is 4 hours.
The answer is C. 3/5
20 girls, 3 boys. 23/40 is about 60 percent, or 3/5.
I wrote the wrong answer on accident for whatever reason when I first sent this, I apologize.
40 inches because a rectangle has 2 sets of parallel lines and if the width and length are 10 then you just have to add up all the sides.
Answer:
to find the permiter of the shapes add up all the sides
to find the area multiply one of the sides and another side
