I have no better answer than simply, because there are 12 inches in a foot.

By definition a conversion factor is one unit being used to express a group or multiple of another unit. Just like how there are 12 of anything in one dozen. 100 years in one century. 365 days in one year. 100 centimeters in a meter. 4 quarts in one gallon. 10 dimes in one dollar. They are equal to each other and, thus, can be used as conversion factors.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 10 inches long. One of the legs is 2 inches longer than the other one. If x is the length
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The equation is

X²+2x-48 = 0

Shorter one is 6 inches

Other side= 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a right angle triangle normally is

A² = B² + C²

Where A = hypotenuse

Then B and C are the order sides of the triangle.

This time

Hypotenuse= 10 inches

The shorter one is X

While the other one is X+2

The equation

10²= x² +(x+2)²

100= x² + x² + 4x +4

100 - 4 = 2x² +4x

96= 2x² +4x

48 = x² +2x

X²+2x-48 = 0

Solving for x

X² +8x-6x-48= 0

X(x+8)-6(x+8)=0

(X-6)(x+8)= 0

X= 6 or x= -8

Definitely x is posiy

So x= 6

Shorter one is 6 inches

Other side= 6+2= 8 inches
