Let
A------> <span>(1, 4)
B------> (6, 4)
C----->  (6,1)

we know that
In </span><span>a right triangle there are  two legs and one hypotenuse
</span><span>
step 1
find the distance AB
d=</span>√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> d=√[(4-4)²+(6-1)²]-----> d=√25----> 5
AB=5 units

step 2
find the distance BC
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> d=√[(1-4)²+(6-6)²]-----> d=√9----> 3
BC=3 units

step 3
find the distance AC
d=√[(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²]------> d=√[(1-4)²+(6-1)²]-----> d=√34----> 5.83 
AC=5.83 units

therefore
the two legs are
AB=5 units
BC=3 units
the hypotenuse is
AC=5.83 units

the answer is
<span>the length of the longer leg is AB=5 units
</span>
see the attached figure

Answer:

a = -12

Remember that when a variable is times with a number, you <u>divide</u> the number on both sides.

When a variable is divided by a number, you <u>multiply</u> the number on both sides.

Solve the equation y=-5x+24 y=4x-21
ryzh [129]

Answer:

x=5 y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-5x+24

y=4x-21

Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other

-5x+24=4x-21

Add 5x to each side

-5x+5x+24=4x+5x-21

24 = 9x-21

Add 21 to each side

24+21 = 9x-21+21

45 = 9x

Divide by 9

45/9 = 9x/9

5 =x

Now we need to find y

y = 4x-21

y =4(5) -21

y =20-21

y =-1

On easter morning 20 eggs were hidden kyla found 1/2 of them kevin found 1/4 of them what fraction of eggs were left to find
kotykmax [81]
\frac{1}{2}*20= 10 &#10; and \frac{1}{4}*20= 5
This means that Kayle found 10 eggs while Kevin found 5 eggs.
so 20-(10+5)= 5 eggs left.
To find the fraction, divide the number of eggs left over the number of total eggs.
Fraction= \frac{5}{20}= \frac{1}{4}

Hope this helps!
