Answer:
shorter leg = 21 ft
longer leg = 28 ft
hypotenuse = 35 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the longer leg of the triangle "b", the shorter leg "a", and the hypotenuse "h"
Then we have the following two equations:
a = b - 7
h = b + 7
And we can use the Pythagorean theorem to relate all three sides of the triangle:
Therefore there are two possible solutions to this equation: b = 0 or b = 28 ft.
So we take the one that is different from zero (since we are looking for the side of a triangle) That is: b = 28 ft
Then hypotenuse = 28 + 7 = 35 ft
and the shorter leg = 28 - 7 = 21 ft
Speed=slope=∆distance/∆time
Part1:
(20-60)/(1-0)=-40mph
Part2:
(0-20)/(3-1)=-20/2=-10mph
What are the answer choices?? I may be able to help
Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
4 x - 2 (x - 8) = -12
-2 (x - 8) = 16 - 2 x:
4 x + 16 - 2 x = -12
4 x - 2 x = 2 x:
2 x + 16 = -12
Subtract 16 from both sides:
2 x + (16 - 16) = -16 - 12
16 - 16 = 0:
2 x = -16 - 12
-16 - 12 = -28:
2 x = -28
Divide both sides of 2 x = -28 by 2:
(2 x)/2 = (-28)/2
2/2 = 1:
x = (-28)/2
The gcd of -28 and 2 is 2, so (-28)/2 = (2 (-14))/(2×1) = 2/2×-14 = -14:
Answer: x = -14
Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute the values of x and y in each equation
take choice c
y = 3(-2)+ 4
-6+4 = -2 = y
so c is the answer
