a right triangle has legs of length 3x m and 4x m and hypotenuse of length 75 m. find the lengths of the legs of the triangle

1 answer:

4 0

It is a 3-4-5 right triangle

leg1 := 3x, leg2:=4x, hypotenuse:=5x

given hypotenuse = 75m
=> 5x=75
So, x= 75÷5 = 15
Therefore, leg1 = 3(15) = 45m.
leg2= 4(15) = 60m.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt[8]{ {x}^{2} {y}^{6} } \\ \\ = ( {x}^{2} {y}^{6} )^{ \frac{1}{8} } \\ \\ = {x}^{2 \times \frac{1}{8}} {y}^{6\times \frac{1}{8}} \\ \\ = x^{\frac{1}{4}} {y}^{3\times \frac{1}{4}} \\ \\ = x^{\frac{1}{4}} {y}^{\frac{3}{4}} \\ \\ = \sqrt[4]{x {y}^{3} } \\$
