Audrey has .x pounds of red grapes and y pounds of

mojhsa [17]

We are looking at points in the form (x, y).

Let x = pounds of red grapes

Let y = pounds of green grapes

Audrey has less than 5 pounds of grapes. Here is where I think you made a typo. The question should indicate if Audrey has 5 pounds less of red grapes or green grapes.

Go back and check your original problem and then come back.

The legs of a right triangle are 6 units and 7 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Ksju [112]

Answer: Square root 85 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The legs of a right triangle are 6 units and 7 units.

Let h be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

By Pythagoras theorem of right triangle, we have

$h=\sqrt{6^2+7^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\sqrt{36+49}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h=\sqrt{85}$

Hence, the length of the hypotenuse $=\sqrt{85}\text{ units.}$

Pythagoras theorem of right triangle says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
