Answer:
82 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive even integers is 2, thus
let the legs be n and n + 2
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
n² + (n + 2)² = 58² ← expand and simplify left side
n² + n² + 4n + 4 = 3364 ( subtract 3364 from both sides )
2n² + 4n - 3360 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )
n² + 2n - 1680 = 0 ← in standard form
(n + 42)(n - 40) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 42 = 0 ⇒ n = - 42
n - 40 = 0 ⇒ n = 40
But n > 0 ⇒ n = 40
and n + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42
Thus sum of legs = 40 + 42 = 82 inches
6 - hundred thousand
1 - ten thousands
2 - thousands
3 - hundred
0 - tens
0 - ones
600,000 + 10,000 + 2,000 + 300
Answer:
90 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of tickets be x
and the total amount each has be y
For Jessica
the amount is
y=10x--------1
for Laurie the amount is
Note: she has $360 already
y=360+6x-------2
to find the number of the tickets that will make them have the same amount, let us equate 1 and 2
10x=360+6x
10x-6x=360
4x=360
x=360/4
x=90
