Answer:
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 4m longer than the shorter leg and 2m longer than the longer leg. What are the lengths of the sides?
Just for variety, consider the hypotenuse = h, the short leg h-4 and the long leg h-2.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2; so h^2 = (h-4)^2 + (h-2)^2; h^2 = h^2 - 8h + 16 +h^2 -4h +4;
h^2 -12h +20 = 0 factors to (h - 10)(h - 2) = 0 so h = 2 or h = 10
Since (h - 2) = (2 - 2) = 0 and a triangle cannot have a side of zero length, 10 is the length of the hypotenuse.
h^2 = (h-4)^2 + (h-2); 10^2 = (10-4)^2 + (10-2); (10)^2 = (6)^2 + (8)
The hypotenuse is 10 cm, short leg 6 cm and long leg 8 cm.
We need to find the Lowest Common Denominator = LCD lowest is 100
10 x 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
100 x 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000. which is the lowest and common? 100
7/10 /100 how many times can 10 go into 100? 10 times. so we will multiply 10 time the numerator which is 7, and now will be 70/100
6/100 /100 how many times can 100 go into 100? 1 time. so we will multiply 1 time the numerator 6 which equals 6. 6/100
now add the new fractions. 70/100 + 6/100 = 76/100
Point c.
You can graph the two points in a calculator to find out the answer OR you can identify the lines using the y-intercept aka b in the y=mx+b format.
Y=x - 3 has a y-intercept of -3, so look for the line where it goes through -3 on the y axis. (do the same for the other except when the y-intercept is 1)
From this, you can identify the lines and just find where they intersect.
Answer:
Your correct answer is 23.4
Step-by-step explanation:
23.4 is the lowest number because 23.4 is the lowest number in general.
