The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 10cm long. The longer leg is 2cm longer than the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the
Crazy boy [7]
We need Pythagoras theorem here
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a, b =  legs of a right-triangle
c = length of hypotenuse

Let S=shorter leg, in cm, then longer leg=S+2 cm
use Pythagoras theorem
S^2+(S+2)^2 = (10 cm)^2
expand (S+2)^2
S^2 +   S^2+4S+4  = 100 cm^2   [collect terms and isolate]
2S^2+4S =  100-4 = 96 cm^2
simplify and form standard form of quadratic
S^2+2S-48=0
Solve by factoring
(S+8)(S-6) = 0   means (S+8)=0, S=-8
or                                   (S-6)=0, S=6
Reject nengative root, so
Shorter leg = 6 cm
Longer leg = 6+2 cm = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (given) = 10 cm

It has been said that newspapers are disappearing, replaced by various electronic media. In 2004, newspaper circulation (the num
shutvik [7]

Answer:

A. y=-1.2x+59

B. 42.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given:

Newspapers circulated in year 2004, y_{1}=59\textrm{ million}

Newspapers circulated in year 2014, y_{2}=47\textrm{ million}

Let the time x start at the year 2004. So, x_{1}=0

For the year 2014, x_{2}=2014-2004=10

Therefore, linear relationship between newspapers circulated and time passed since 2004 is given as:

y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})\\y-59=\frac{47-59}{10-0}(x-0)\\y-59=-\frac{12}{10}x\\y=-1.2x+59

Therefore, the equation describing the relationship is: y=-1.2x+59

Part B:

For the year 2018, x=2018-2004=14

Plug in 14 for x in the above equation and solve for y. This gives,

y=-1.2(14)+59\\y=-16.8+59\\y=42.2

Therefore, in the year 2018, the newspaper circulation will be 42.2 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is - C) fails to consider that commuting trips may cause significantly more than 20 percent of the traffic congestion

Reason -

Option A is incorrect because the statistics can not be incorrect.

Option B is incorrect because they are not talking about the city.

Option C is correct because Urban rail reduces congestion.

Option D is incorrect because the opposers cited the example of one city and the supporters are presenting evidence in the case of that city itself.
