Answer:
84 (nearest whole number)
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = 10,
Longest leg = (7 x 10) + 4 = 74
Shortest leg = 4 x 10 = 40
Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle):
⇒ 74² + 40² = c²
⇒ 7076 = c²
⇒ c = √7076 = 84.11896...
⇒ hypotenuse = 84 (nearest whole number)
Last one and first. You can find out why by isolating the cube root and cubing both sides.
144.
distributive property distributed a number outside of a parenthesis inside, i.e. x(12•12).
considering there is no given parenthesis, the answer is simply 144.
