C-3/5=4

c-3/5*5=4*5 (We do this to get ride 5 so we can simplify to just 3)

c-3=20
  +3 +3
c=17

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 7cm shorter than the longer leg. The hypotenuse is 7cm longer then the linger leg. What i
Gelneren [198K]

The shorter leg is 21cm, longer leg is 28 cm and hypotenuse is 35cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The longer leg = x

The shorter leg = x-7

Hypotenuse = x+7

Using Pythagoras theorem;

a^2+b^2=c^2\\(x-7)^2+(x)^2=(x+7)^2\\x^2-14x+49+x^2=x^2+14x+49\\2x^2-14x+49-x^2-14x-49=0\\x^2-28x=0\\x(x-28)=0\\

Either,

x= 0

Or,

x-28=0      =>x=28

As length cannot be zero, therefore,

Longer side = 28cm

Shorter side = x-7 = 28-7 = 21cm

Hypotenuse = x+7 = 28+7 = 35cm

The shorter leg is 21cm, longer leg is 28 cm and hypotenuse is 35cm.

A 5 pound bag of apples costs 4.50 and an 8 pound bag of the same type of apples costs 7.52 greg found the unit price which is t
irga5000 [103]

Answer: 0.04 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

A 5 pound bag of apples costs 4.50.

The unit price will be 4.50 divided by 5 which will be:

4.50 ÷ 5 = 0.9

The unit price is 0.9 per pound

A 8 pound bag of the same type of apples costs 7.52.

The unit price will be 7.52 divided by 8 which will give:

7.52 ÷ 8 = 0.94

The unit price is 0.94 per pound

The difference in the unit prices will be the subtraction of 0.90 from 0.94.

0.94 - 0.90 = 0.04

The difference in the unit prices is 0.04 per pound.

Given the diagram below, what is the length of segment EF
bekas [8.4K]
Let x = length of segment EF.

Assume that
(a) line segments AD,  EF, and BC are parallel, and
(b) the vertical distance between AD and EF is equal to the vertical distance between EF and BC.

Then from similarity between geometric shapes, we can write
\frac{2.2}{x} = \frac{x}{4.8}
x^{2} =(2.2)(4.8)=10.56
x=3.2   (nearest tenth)

Answer: B. 3.2
