1/3x - 2 = 1/4x + 11....it looks to me like one y was subbed in for another...
ur 2 equations are :
y = 1/3x - 2 and y = 1/4x + 11...but we need them in standard form...
y = 1/3x - 2
-1/3x + y = -2 ..multiply by 3
-x + 3y = -6.....or 3y - x = -6 <==
y = 1/4x + 11
-1/4x + y = 11 ...multiply by 4
-x + 4y = 44 or 4y - x = 44 <==
The given trinagle is a right angle triangle. let the missing side be x. To find x, we would apply the pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2
From the triangle,
hypotenuse = 14
one leg = 9
other leg = x
Thus, we have
![\begin{gathered} 14^2=9^2+x^2 \\ 196=81+x^2 \\ x^2\text{ = 196 - 81 = 115} \\ x\text{ = }\sqrt[]{115} \\ x\text{ = 10.72} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%2014%5E2%3D9%5E2%2Bx%5E2%20%5C%5C%20196%3D81%2Bx%5E2%20%5C%5C%20x%5E2%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%20196%20-%2081%20%3D%20115%7D%20%5C%5C%20x%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%20%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B115%7D%20%5C%5C%20x%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%2010.72%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
To the nearest tenth, the length of the third side is 10.7

So, 80 - 8. equals 72 / 2 = 36... then add 36 + 8 to one and you have 44...
44 for length and 36 for width
