Answer:

Longer side = 84 meters

Shorter side = 80 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right angle triangle. Let x represent the length of the longer side of the triangle. The difference between the other two sides is 4 meters. It means that the length of the shorter side is x - 4

Applying Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = longer side² + shorter side²

Therefore,

116² = x² + (x - 4)²

13456 = x² + x² - 4x - 4x + 16

2x² - 8x + 16 - 13456 = 0

2x² - 8x - 13440 = 0

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

x² - 4x - 6720

x² + 80x - 84x - 6720 = 0

x(x + 80) - 84(x + 80) = 0

x - 84 = 0 or x + 80 = 0

x = 84 or x = - 80

Since the length cannot be negative, then

x = 84

Length of shorter side is

84 - 4 = 80

Y= -3x + 1 and y= x - 3
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

x= 1

y= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

equation (1): y= -3x+1

equation (2): y=x-3

solve the system of equations by substitution:

step1: sub ( x-3 ) for y in equation 1:

y = -3x+1

x-3 = -3x+1

step2: simplify the equation to get x:

(add 3 for both sides)

x = -3x+4

(add 3x for both sides)

4x = 4

(divide 4 from both sides)

x = 1

step3: sub the value of x (x=1) in equation 2:

y = x-3

y = 1-3

step4: solve the equation to get y:

y = -2
