Answer:

The length of hypotenuse is 4.2 feet and length of first leg is 1.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x is the length of the first leg.

It is given that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is three times the length of its first leg.

Hypotenuse = 3x

The length of the other leg is 4 feet.

Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

Where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

x^2+4^2=(3x)^2

x^2+16=9x^2

16=8x^2

2=x^2

\sqrt{2}=x

x = 1.4 feet(nearest tenth)

The length of hypotenuse = 3x = 3×1.4 = 4.2 feet

The length of hypotenuse is 4.2 feet and length of first leg is 1.4 feet.

Answer:

  D. 5 < x < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side cannot be any shorter than the difference of the other two sides: 7 -2 = 5. It cannot be any longer than the sum of the other two sides: 7+2 = 9. It cannot be equal to either of those values. So, we must have ...
