Step-by-step explanation:
From Pythagorean theorem, one of the sides can be determined as x^2 + y^2 =8^2
or y = (8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)
we can write the perimeter P as
P = 2x + 2y ---> 20 = 2x + 2(8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)
Dividing by 2, we get
10 = x + (8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)
Move the x to the other side,
10 - x = (8^2 - x^2)^(1/2)
Take the square of both sides to get rid of the radical sign:
(10 - x)^2 = 8^2 - x^2
Move everything to the left and expand the quantity inside the parenthesis:
x^2 + (100 - 20x + x^2) - 64 = 0
2x^2 - 20x + 64 = 0
or
x^2 - 10x + 32 = 0
Now we can see that a = -10 and b = 32

80.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
nth term = 1 + n(13/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
3n + n/4 + 1
n = 1, 3(1) + (1)/4 + 1 = 4 + ¼ = 17/4
n = 2, 3(2) + (2)/4 + 1 = 7 + ½ = 30/4
n = 3, 3(3) + (3)/4 + 1 = 10 + ¾ = 43/4
n = 4, 3(4) + (4)/4 + 1 = 14 = 56/4
The difference between consecutive terms is 13/4
At n = 1, 17/4 = 1 + 1(13/4)
At n = 2, 30/4 = 1 + 2(13/4)
nth term = 1 + n(13/4)
