das is part of a proof of pythagorean theorem


for a right triangle (has one interior angle as 90 degrees)

a^2+b^2=c^2

a and b are the lengths of the legs and c=length of hypotnuse (side oposite right angle)


we see that the lengths of the legs are 9in and 12in

a=9 and b=12 (or a=12 and b=9, doesn't matter)

we want to find c, or x in this case

so

a^2+b^2=c^2

9^2+12^2=x^2

81+144=x^2

225=x^2

15=x

x=15in

answer is 15 inches

using the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2   where c is the hypotenuse

9^2 +12^2 = x^2

81 + 144 = x^2

225 = x^2

taking the square root of each side

sqrt(225) = x

15 =x

x = 15 inches

A ribbon is 30cm long and it is cut into three pieces such that each piece is 2cm longer than the next. Represent this as an equ
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...

x , x + 2, x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30

3x + 6 = 30

3x = 30 - 6

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10

x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12

check...

8 + 10 + 12 = 30

18 + 12 = 30

30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out

the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm
