Let
x------------> <span>The length of one leg
</span>y------------> <span>The length of second leg
</span>
we know that
H=50 cm
x=2y
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem

H</span>²=x²+y²--------> 50²=(2y)²+y²---------> 2500=4y²+y²-----> y²=2500/5
y=√500--------> y=22.4 cm
<span>so
</span>x=2y--------> x=2*22.4--------> x=44.8 cm
<span>
the answer is
</span><span>the lengths of the legs of the triangle are
</span>44.8 cm
and
22.4 cm

Teresa, Eric, and Ryan sent a total of 99 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Eric sent 3 times as
faust18 [17]

I'll use t for the messages Teresa sent, e for messages Eric sent, and r for messages Ryan sent.

Therefore we have, t+e+r=99.

From the text we also know:

e=3r ; r=t+6

If we substitute in the original equation we get:

t+3(t+6)+t+6=99; By simplifying it we get

5t=75 , therefore t=75/5=15.

Since Teresa send 15 messages,Ryan sent 6 more then here, so he send 21. Eric sent three times the

messages Ryan sent so he sent 63 messages. If we add them together 15+21+63, we get the total of 99 messages.

What is the probability of rolling a 5 or not rolling a 5 using a regular 6-sided number cube?
Ne4ueva [31]
There are 6 different sides you can land on with a dice. So the probability of rolling any one side is 1/6. The probability of NOT rolling a 5 is the same thing as rolling anything except a 5. So that probability will be 5/6.
