To answer this item, we make use of the equation derive from the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides. If we let x be the measure of both the shorter sides (we call this as legs), we have,
(14 in)² = (x²) + (x²)
Simplifying the equation,
196 in² = 2x²
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
98 in² = x²
To get the value of x, we get the square root of both sides of the equation,
x = sqrt (98) = 7√2 inches
Hence, the measure of each leg of the right triangle is 7√2 inches or approximately 9.9 inches.
Answer:
1) the signs of the numbers is not in standard form
2) always make sure that the signs of the two equations is standarised and then solve
please follow me
Plug them in... -4=x -5=y
-3x-4+-6=6 (check)
-3x-4=12-6=6 (ordered pair works with this equation)
-2x-4+-6=-8 (check)
-2x-4=8-6=2 (ordered pair does not work with this equation)
Therefore the ordered pair IS NOT the solution.
Hope this helps :)
