Sets of three integers that could be right triangles are called pythagorean triples. the only pythagorean triple including 7 is 7, 24, and 25. so the length of the other leg is 24 and the length of the hypotenuse is 25. hope this helped!

Answer:

The length of other leg is 24 units and length of hypotenuse is 25 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: In a right angled triangle

Length of one leg = 7 units

In a right angled triangle,

hypotenuse^2=perpendicular^2+base^2

If a, b, and c are positive integers, such that

a^2+b^2=c^2

then (a,b,c) is known as Pythagorean triple.

The lengths of other two sides are whole numbers. It means the set of sides is a Pythagorean triple.

Pythagorean triple = (3,4,5), (5,12,13), (8,15,17), (7,24,25), (20,21,29)...

Only one Pythagorean triple has 7, i.e, (7,24,25).

Therefore the length of other leg is 24 units and length of hypotenuse is 25 unit.

Help me please with this math. find x and y​
erastova [34]

Answer:X= 1.84. Y= 3.08

Step-by-step explanation:

-9x+8y =8 ............i

-8x+10y= -16........ii

Multiply equation I by 8

Multiply equation ii by 9

-72x+64y = 64 ..... iii

-72x+90y = 144 ..... iv

Subtract iv from iii

-26y = -80

y= 80/26

y= 3.08

Put the value of y in equation i

-9x+8y =8

-9x+8(3.08) = 8

-9x+24.64 = 8

-9x = 8-24.64

-9x=-16.64

Divide both side by 9

-9x/-9 = -16.64/-9

X= 1.84
