To answer this item, we make use of the equation derive from the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides. If we let x be the measure of both the shorter sides (we call this as legs), we have,
(14 in)² = (x²) + (x²)
Simplifying the equation,
196 in² = 2x²
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
98 in² = x²
To get the value of x, we get the square root of both sides of the equation,
x = sqrt (98) = 7√2 inches
Hence, the measure of each leg of the right triangle is 7√2 inches or approximately 9.9 inches.
Answer:
780 sheets
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A machine can shred 65 sheets of paper every 5 seconds
so
using proportion
Find out how many sheets of paper can the machine shred in 60 seconds
A quadrilateral 24 ft long and 0 ft wide will have the smallest area.
we have

Solve for c--------> that means that clear variable c
so
Divide by
both sides

Adds
both sides

Multiply by
both sides
![a[(R/5)+0.3]=c](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%5B%28R%2F5%29%2B0.3%5D%3Dc)
so
![c=a[(R/5)+0.3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%3Da%5B%28R%2F5%29%2B0.3%5D)
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
![c=a[(R/5)+0.3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%3Da%5B%28R%2F5%29%2B0.3%5D)
