Answer:

24m and 25m.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras Theorem:

h^2 = x^2 + 7 ^2 where h is the hypotenuse and x is the other leg.

But x and h are consecutive integers

so h = x + 1 and:

(x + 1)^2 = x^2 + 49

x^2 + 2x + 1 - x^2 = 49

2x + 1 = 49

2x = 48

x = 24

So the 2 lengths are 24 and 25.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You would do $3,472 to $3,000 divided by $680 that you would go to $700 so you would then do $3,000 divided by $700 = 5

I estimated because dividing those numbers would give you 5.105882353 so an estimation would be 5 instead of all of those numbers

How can you subtract fractions with unlike denominators?

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

No, You can't. You have to make their denominators equal!

$-\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, you make their denominators equal!

$\frac{1*2}{5*2} =\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$

Multiplying both the numerator and denominator with the same number results in the same fraction, just un-simplified

So, we input it!

$\frac{2}{10} -\frac{9}{10} = -\frac{7}{10}$

There you go!

Hope you get better at math!(gets wayyyyyyyyyyy...y more complicated later)

Hope this helps!

See Ya!
