Answers:
x = 8
y = 15*sqrt(2)
===========================================================
Explanation:
This is a 45-45-90 triangle. The right triangle is isosceles.
This means the two legs 3x-9 and x+7 are the same length
3x-9 = x+7
3x-x = 7+9
2x = 16
x = 16/2
x = 8
If x = 8, then each leg is...
3x-9 = 3(8)-9 = 24-9 = 15
x+7 = 8+7 = 15
Each leg is 15 units long to help confirm we have the correct x value.
---------------
The hypotenuse y is exactly sqrt(2) times that of the leg length.
Therefore, y = 15*sqrt(2) since earlier we found each leg is 15 units long.
15*sqrt(2) = 21.213 approximately
What is the question???????
Let x is the smaller integer.
x+12 is the larger integer because two integers differ by 12.
The sum of their square means
x² + (x+12)² = 74
x² + x² + 24x + 144 = 74
2x² + 24x + 70 = 0
2(x² + 12x + 35) = 0
2(x+5)(x+7) = 0
x = -5 or - 7
so we have two answer.
first x = -5 as smaller and 7 as the larger x = -5 + 12 = 7
second x = -7 as smaller and 5 as the larger. x = -7 + 12 = 5
