Right triangle ACB has side lengths c = 17 inches and a = 8 inches

1 answer:

5 0

A²+b²=c²

Where a=leg, b=base, and c=hypotenuse.

So, because we are given the side lengths of c and a, we simply plug everything in, and try to find b.

a²+b²=c²

8² + b² = 17²

Simplify.

64 + b² = 289

Subtract 64 from both sides.

b² = 289 - 64

Simplify.

b² = 225

b = $\sqrt{225}$

So, b = 15 inches

1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4(d-2) how to solve

natita [175]

Greetings!

Solve for d.
$1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4(d-2)$
Distribute the Parenthesis.
$1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4*d+1/4*-2$
$1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d+1/4*-2/1$
$1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d-2/4$
Reduce.
$1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d-1/2$
Add -2/3 to both sides.
$(1/6d + 2/3)+(-2/3)=(1/4d-1/2)+(-2/3)$
Simplify.
$1/6d=1/4d-3/6-4/6$
$1/6d=1/4d-7/6$
Add -1/4d to both sides.
$(1/6d)+(-1/4d)=(1/4d-7/6)+(-1/4d)$
Simplify.
$2/12d)-3/12d=-7/6$
$-1/12d=-7/6$
Divide both sides by -1/12.
$(-1/12d)/-1/12=(-7/6)/-1/12$
Simplify.
$d=(-7/6)*-12/1$
$d=84/6$
Reduce.
$d=14/1$
$d=14$

Hope this helps.
