Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer: 18 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are four equal triangle and a rectangle.
Formula of a rectangle = b * h = 2*3 = 6
Formula of triangle =
but there four of them so we times them by 4, this leaves us with 2 (b * h) = 2(2*3) = 12
Area of pentagon = area of all triangles + rectangle
Area of pentagon = 12 + 6 = 18
Hope this helps.
10+2=12-06/6=6
Hope this helped you ^^
The amount of balloons in the tent is 125.075 feet cube. From the given options, approximately, option D is correct
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, Rob is making a tent out of canvas in the shape of a square pyramid. Each side of the square base is 6 feet long, and the height is 6.3 feet.
Rob filled the tent with balloons,
We have to find which measurement BEST describes the amount of balloons in the tent?
As tent if filled with balloons the amount of balloons equals with volume of tent.
<em><u>Volume of tent is given as:</u></em>

where "a" is side length and "h" is height.

Hence, from the given options, approximately, option D is correct.
