Let assume that the the two numbers are X and Y and that X is the large number.
According to the question, 
X + Y = 53 .................. Equation 1
then,  X = 11 + Y........... Equation 2
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1.
[11 + Y] + Y = 53
11 + 2Y = 53
2Y = 53 - 11 = 42
2Y = 42
Y = 42 / 2 = 21,
Therefore, Y = 21 [Small number].
According to equation 1, 
X +Y = 53
X + 21 = 53
X = 53 - 21 = 32.
Therefore, X = 32 [Big number].

Find the missing side of this right a triangle?<br> help pls
yaroslaw [1]

Hi, there!

 _____

To find the missing side length of this triangle (which is a <em>right</em> triangle), we'll use Pythagoras' Theorem.

-\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow\boldsymbol{a^2+b^2=c^2}

Here,

\textsc{legs:}\begin{cases} \bold{a}\\\bold{b} \end{cases}

Hypotenuse (the longest side): c

We know that

\bold{a=2 \ and \ b=28}

So, we can substitute our parameters, and solve for c.

\bold{2^2+28^2=c^2} -\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow square 2 and 28

\bold{4+784=c^2} -\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow add the numbers

\bold{788=c^2} -\!\!\!-\!\!\!-\!\!\!\longrightarrow square root both sides

\bold{\sqrt{788}=c}

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!
