Answer:
SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4
The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg: c = a + 8
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2
a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64
a2 - 8a - 48 = 0
Factors to:
(a-12)(a+4) = 0
a = 12, -4
Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12
Shorter Leg = 12 inches
Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches
Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches
The best decimal equivalent is 10/16
The 2 sides of the right triangle is 25 and 24.
Any multiple of a Pythagorean triple is also considered a Pythagorean triple. Multiplying 3, 4, 5 by 2 gives 6, 8, 10, which is another triple. To see if a set of numbers makes a Pythagorean triple, plug them into the Pythagorean Theorem.
3,4,5 5,12,13 7,24,25 8,15,17 9,12,15
Final Result: 25,24
In order to find the solution to this problem, you must first find how much flour is used for one loaf of bread. To do this you do the amount of flour divided by the amount of bread (1750/1000). Now that you know the amount of flour for one loaf you multiply this by 10 because you need to know the amount needed for 10 loaves. The solution is 17.5 kilograms
