The answer is b the two equations are equal to each other
Answer:
The length of a side of the flag is 7.2inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let length = x
Let hypotenuse = x+3
Using Pythagoras' Theorem:
x^2 + x^2 = (x+3)^2
x^2 + x^2 = x^2 + 6x + 9
2x^2 = x^2 + 6x + 9
×^2 - 6x - 9 = 0

x=[-(-6)+sqrt.(-6)^2-4(1)(-9)]/2(1)
×=[6+sqrt.72]/2
×=7.2inches
×=[-(-6)+sqrt.(-6)^2-4(1)(-9)]/2(1)
x=[6-sqrt.72]/2
×=-1.2(rej)
(PS. sqrt is square root)

In a linear equation, the independent variable increases at a constant rate while the dependent variable decreases at a constant rate.
I think it is: y=0.375x+3.125
a=(5-2)/(5- -3)=3/8=0.375
Find b
(5)=0.375(5)+b
(5)=1.875+b
5-1.875=b
b=3.125
