Answer:
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(y+1)/(x-8) = (-1+1)/(-2-8)
(y+1)/(x-8) = 0
y+1 =0
y= -1

Answer:
longer leg: 20 in
shorter leg: 15 in
hypotenuse: 25 in
Formulas:
<u>Pythagorean Theorem</u>
c ... hypotenuse
a ... one leg
b ... another leg
Pythagorean theorem is used in right triangles (triangles in which one angle is 90°).
Step-by-step explanation:
longer leg: x
shorter leg: x - 5
hypotenuse: x + 5
To find x (longer leg), let's use Pythagorean theorem.
Now let's factorize to get solutions for x.
First solution:
Second solution:
Since a side of a triangle has to be a positive number, x is equal to 20.
Now let's just substitute x back to get side lengths. From the question the lengths are in inches.
longer leg: x = 20 in
shorter leg: x - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15 in
hypotenuse: x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 in
<h3>Answer:</h3>
a) l = 5 + 2w
b) P = 2(l +w) = 2(5 +2w +w)
c) w = 8 cm, l = 21 cm
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
a) Using w for width, twice the width is 2w, and 5 more than that is 5+2w. This is your expression for l:
... l = 5 + 2w
b) The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides, so is the sum of twice the length and twice the width.
... P = 2(l +w) = 2(5 +2w + w) . . . . substituting for l using the expression of (a)
c) Substituting the given perimeter, we have ...
... 58 = 2(5 +3w) = 10 + 6w . . . . . collect terms, eliminate parentheses
... 48 = 6w . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10
... 8 = w . . . . . . . . divide by 6
... l = 5 + 2·8 = 21 . . . . . find length using the formula for it
Dimensions are in centimeters, so we can write the solution as ...
- width = 8 cm
- length = 21 cm
