Answer:
w = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
set up an equation; since this is a right angle, it equals 90 degrees
90 = w + 12 + 2w
90 - 12 = w + 2w
78 = 3w
78/3
w = 26
I think that it could possibly be 12 feet but at the same time I'm not sure
Pythagoras Theorem:
hipotenuse²=leg₁²+leg₂²
First posible triangle:
hypotenuse=13 (13²=169)
leg₁=12 ( 12²=144)
leg₂=5 (5²=25)
13³=144 + 25
Answer:can be side lengths of a triangle
Second triangle:
hypotenuse=12.6 (12.6²=158.76)
leg₁=6.7 ( 6.7²=44.89)
leg₂=6.5 (6.5²=42.25)
leg₁²+leg₂²=44.89+42.25=87.14≠158.76
Answer: cannot be side lenghts of a triangle.
third triangle:
hypotenuse=13 (13²=169)
leg₁=12 ( 12²=144)
leg₂=11 (11²=121)
leg₁²+leg₂²=144+121=265≠169
Answer: cannot be side lenghts of a triangle.
fourth triangle:
hypotenuse=13 (13²=169)
leg₁=6 ( 6²=36)
leg₂=4 (4²=16)
leg₁²+leg₁²=36+16=52≠169
Answer: cannot be side lenghts of a triangle.
Answer:
306 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
80% = 0.8
170 inches × 80% = 170 × 0.8 = 136
The truck is 80% longer than the boat. 80% of the boat is 136.
So, the boat is 170 inches + 136 inches = 306 inches.
