Why is it difficult to find length of the hypotenuse the same way the length of the legs can be found?

It is difficult to find length that way because you still need that extra step where are apply the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs), which could use a lot of useless squaring, when you could do something clever instead.

Answer:

bc the length of the hypotenuse is the sum of the other two legs. thats why the equation is:  a^2(hypotenuse) = b^2  + c^2 (the other two legs)

What is the solution of the system of equations?
umka21 [38]

No solution of the system of equations y = -2x + 5 and -5y = 10x + 20 ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the types of solutions of a system of linear equations

  • One solution
  • No solution when the coefficients of x and y in the two equations are equal and the numerical terms are different
  • Infinitely many solutions when the coefficients of x , y and the numerical terms are equal in the two equations

∵ y = -2x + 5

- Add 2x to both sides

∴ 2x + y = 5 ⇒ (1)

∵ -5y = 10x + 20

- Subtract 10x from both sides

∴ -10x - 5y = 20

- Divide both sides by -5

∴ 2x + y = -4 ⇒ (2)

∵ The coefficient of x in equation (1) is 2

∵ The coefficient of x in equation (2) is 2

∴ The coefficients of x in the two equations are equal

∵ The coefficient of y in equation (1) is 1

∵ The coefficient of y in equation (2) is 1

∴ The coefficients of y in the two equations are equal

∵ The numerical term in equation (1) is 5

∵ The numerical term in equation (2) is -4

∴ The numerical terms are different

From the 2nd rule above

∴ No solution of the system of equations

No solution of the system of equations y = -2x + 5 and -5y = 10x + 20
