Mathematics

Anika [276]3 years ago

We know that the right triangle has one 90 degree angle and two acute (< 90 degree) angles. Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.

<u>To find x:</u>

(10x - 20) + (6x + 8) =  180

16x - 12 = 180

      +12     +12

16x = 192

-----    -----

16        16

x = 12

<u>Check:</u>

(10(12) - 20) + (6(12) + 8) = 180

(120 -  20) + (72 + 8) = 180

100 + 80 = 180

180 = 180

<u>Angle (10x - 20):</u>

(10(12) - 20)

(120 - 20)

100

<u>Angle (6x + 8):</u>

(6(12) + 8)

(72 + 8)

80

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are consecutive odd integers. If the perimeter is 1 less than 4 times the shortest side,
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Let the shortest side be x.  Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.

Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x  +  (x+1) + (x+2) 

This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).

Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
      or:        3x + 3         = 4x -1                 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
                                                                  3 = x - 1

x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6

The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.
