Answer:
5 ; 12 ; 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Shorter leg = x
Other leg = x + 7
Hypotenus = x + 8
Recall:
Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²
(x+8)² = x² + (x+7)²
x² + 16x + 64 = x² + x² + 14x + 49
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0
x(x - 5) +3(x - 5) = 0
(x + 3) = 0 ; x = - 3
(x - 5) = 0 ; x = 5
Side can't be negative ;
Hence,
x = shorter side = 5
Other side = x + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12
Hypotenus = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13
Answer:
72 is the answer
21-4 IS 17, AND 17 - 9 IS 8, THEN 9X8 IS 72.
Answer:
first side=40
second side=20
third side=22
Step-by-step explanation:
LET THE SIDES OF THE TRIANGLES BE y
Perimeter=82
first side=2 x y = 2y
second side=y
third side=2 +y
2y + y + 2 + y=82
4y+2=82
4y= 82-2
4y=80
y=80/4
y=20
first side=2y=2(20)=40
second side=y=20
third side= 2 + y= 2 + 20 = 22
Okay, I'm pretty sure the answers are:
