Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle
let x be the other leg to be found, then
155² = 124² + x²
24025 = 15376 + x² ( subtract 15376 from both sides )
8649 = x² ( take the square root of both sides )
= x
Hence x = 93 cm ← length of other leg → a
3x - 1 = 3x + 1
subtract 3x from both sides to get (-1 = 1). This is a false statement so it is: CONTRADICTION
************************************************
4x - 11 = 7
add 11 to both sides and then divide both sides by 4 to get . This statement is true only when x =
so it is: CONDITIONAL
*************************************************
2 - 8x = 2 - 8x
add 8x to both sides to get (2 = 2). This is a true statement so it is: IDENTITY
*************************************************
x + 1 = -x + 4
add x to both sides, subtract 1 from both sides, and divide both sides by 2 to get . This statement is true only when x =
so it is: CONDITIONAL
