Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a 45-45-90 triangle, the 2 legs will be the same, meaning that y will also be $\sqrt2$ .

We can then solve for x using the Pythagorean theorem:

$\sqrt2^2+\sqrt2^2=x^2\\2+2=x^2\\4=x^2\\x=2$

Or, we could use a quicker approach: if the triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse will be $\sqrt2$ times the length of 1 leg. It essentially does the same thing; it's just faster so you could save time on tests.

April worked 1 1/2 times as long on her math project as did Carl. Debbie worked 1 1/4 times as long as Sonia. Richard worked 1 3

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Student Hours worked

April. $7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs$

Debbie. $8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs$

Richard. $7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs$

Step-by-step explanation:

Some data's were missing so we have attached the complete information in the attachment.

Given:

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = $5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs$

$5\frac{1}{4}\ hrs$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{21}{4}\ hrs$

Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project = $\frac{21}{4}\ hrs$

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = $6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs$

$6\frac{1}{2}\ hrs$ can be rewritten as $\frac{13}{2}\ hrs$

Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project = $\frac{13}{2}\ hrs$

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = $5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs$

$5\frac{2}{3}\ hrs$ can be rewritten as $\frac{17}{3}\ hrs.$

Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project = $\frac{17}{3}\ hrs.$

Now Given:

April worked $1\frac{1}{2}$ times as long on her math project as did Carl.

$1\frac{1}{2}$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{3}{2}$

Number of Hours April worked on math project = $\frac{3}{2}$ $\times$ Number of Hours Carl worked on Math project

Number of Hours April worked on math project = $\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{21}{4} = \frac{63}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs$

Also Given:

Debbie worked $1\frac{1}{4}$ times as long as Sonia.

$1\frac{1}{4}$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{5}{4}$ .

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = $\frac{5}{4}$ $\times$ Number of Hours Sonia worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = $\frac{5}{4}\times \frac{13}{2}= \frac{65}{8}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs$

Also Given:

Richard worked $1\frac{3}{8}$ times as long as tony.

$1\frac{3}{8}$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{11}{8}$

Number of Hours Richard worked on math project = $\frac{11}{8}$ $\times$ Number of Hours Tony worked on Math project

Number of Hours Debbie worked on math project = $\frac{11}{8}\times \frac{17}{3}= \frac{187}{24}\ hrs \ \ Or \ \ 7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs$

Hence We will match each student with number of hours she worked.

Student Hours worked

April. $7\frac{7}{8} \ hrs$

Debbie. $8\frac{1}{8}\ hrs$

Richard. $7\frac{19}{24}\ hrs$
