$2,750 and $1,580
You would use the information given to create two equations with two variables, each representing one of the investments. Then, you would use substitution to solve for one of the variables, which you would then use to solve for the remaining variable.
We have given
hypotenuse=<span>6√2
let us suppose leg =a
using Pythagorean theorem
a^2+a^2=(</span><span>6√2)^2
</span>2a^2=36*2
diving by 2 on both sides
a^2=36
taking square root on both sides
√a^2 =<span>√36
a=6
therefore
</span><span>the leg of each isosceles right triangle is 6</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2
70=3/5
times 5/3
350/3
this is 7/8
350/3=7/8
times 8/7 both sides
400/3
that is 5/6
400/3=5/6 of total
times 6/5 both sides
800/5=160
