Answer: the dimensions of the triangle are 29 feet, 58 feet and 59 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shortest side.

Let y represent the length of the medium side.

Let z represent the length of the longest side(third).

One side twice the length of the shortest side. It means that

y = 2x

The third side is 30 feet more than the length of the shortest side.. This means that

z = x + 30

if the triangle's perimeter is 146 feet units, it means that

x + y + z = 146- - - - - - -- - - - -1

Substituting z = x + 30 and y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 2x + x + 30 = 146

4x = 146 - 30

4x = 116

x = 116/4

x = 29 feet

y = 2x = 2 × 29

y = 58 feet

z = x + 30 = 29 + 30

z = 59

Mrs.Kunkleman asks her students to write the Pythagorean theorem in their own words
masha68 [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem can be understood as a mathematical relationship between the sides of a right triangle that helps to understand geometric problems in real situations, such as finding measurements, calculating areas, etc.

The theorem says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other sides.

In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, on the side opposite to its longest angle, and the other two sides will be the sides. So the Pythagorean theorem formula is:

a² = b² + c²

where a represents the hypotenuse and b and c the other sides.

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 14 feet less than the other leg. Find the length of the two legs of the hypotenuse is 25
irakobra [83]

Answer:

  9.233 ft, 23.233 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+14 and the Pythagorean theorem tells you ...

  x^2 + (x +14)^2 = 25^2

  2x^2 +28x +196 = 625

  x^2 +14x = 214.5

  x^2 +14x +49 = 263.5

  (x +7)^2 = 263.5

  x = -7 +√263.5 ≈ 9.23268

The two leg lengths are √263.5 ± 7 feet, {9.23 ft, 23.23 ft}.

PART A:
 The generic equation of the line is:
 y-yo = m (x-xo)
 First we look for the slope of the line:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 m = ((5000) - (6000)) / (4-3)
 m = -1000
 Then, we substitute any point in the generic equation:
 (xo, yo) = (4, 5000)
 Substituting:
 y-5000 = (- 1000) (x-4)
 Rewriting:
 y = -1000x + 4000 + 5000
 y = -1000x + 9000
 The equation is:
 y = -1000x + 9000

 PART B: 
 For the price of 3.50 we have:
 y = -1000 * (3.5) +9000
 y = 5500
