Answer: Shorter leg = 6 inches
Longer leg = 6+2 = 8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shorter leg bw represented by x.
Therefore, the longer leg will be x+2.
The hypothenuse is 10inches
We should note that in Pythagoras theorem, the square of the longer and shorter side equals the square of the hypothenuse. This will be:
x² + (x+2)² = 10²
x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100
2x² + 4x = 100 - 4
2x² + 4x = 96
2x² + 4x - 96 = 0
x² + 2x - 48 = 0
x² + 8x - 6x - 48 = 0
x(x + 8) -6(x + 8) = 0
x - 6 = 0
x = 0+6.
x = 6
Shorter leg = 6 inches
Longer leg = 6+2 = 8 inches
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
According to Reese's model, let the head of the coin represent male, and the tail represents female. The outcome can either be a male or a female.
Total outcome = 2
pr(male) = 
pr(female) = 
Therefore the probability of male equals the probability of females i.e
.
Therefore,
pr(a litter of 5 puppies will be males) =
x
x
x
x 
= 
According to Reese's model, the probability that a litter of 5 puppies will be males is
.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5+n+4+7+n+8=360
24+2n=360
2n=360-24
2n=336
n=168
