Answer:
20.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The term "hypotenuse" suggests this triangle is a right triangle. Then the other leg can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 +12^2 = 24^2
x^2 = 576 -144 = 432
x = √432 ≈ 20.8 . . . cm
The other leg is about 20.8 cm.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A right triangle with a short leg that is 1/2 the length of the hypotenuse is the "special" 30°-60°-90° right triangle. The longer leg is √3 times the length of the short leg: 12√3 ≈ 20.8 cm.
A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. Let use "W" to represent the Wheat and let use "C" to represent the corn. Hence, we have below:
W=C+480
The farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn and the area of the wheat is 300 acres less than the area of the corn:
W-0.8W=C-0.25C+300
0.2W=0.75C+300
We have two equations, two unknowns:
0.2(C+480)=0.75C+300
0.2C+96=0.75C+300
0.55C=294
C=534.55
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
12 = 24 - 4 (-6 x - 3)
-4 (-6 x - 3) = 24 x + 12:
12 = 24 x + 12 + 24
Grouping like terms, 24 x + 12 + 24 = 24 x + (12 + 24):
12 = 24 x + (12 + 24)
12 + 24 = 36:
12 = 24 x + 36
12 = 24 x + 36 is equivalent to 24 x + 36 = 12:
24 x + 36 = 12
Subtract 36 from both sides:
24 x + (36 - 36) = 12 - 36
36 - 36 = 0:
24 x = 12 - 36
12 - 36 = -24:
24 x = -24
Divide both sides of 24 x = -24 by 24:
(24 x)/24 = (-24)/24
24/24 = 1:
x = (-24)/24
The gcd of -24 and 24 is 24, so (-24)/24 = (24 (-1))/(24×1) = 24/24×-1 = -1:
Answer: x = -1
