Mathematics
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the shorter leg, then x + 5 is the longer leg, and 2x − 5 is the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

(2x − 5)² = x² + (x + 5)²

4x² − 20x + 25 = x² + x² + 10x + 25

4x² − 20x + 25 = 2x² + 10x + 25

2x² − 30x = 0

x² − 15x = 0

x (x − 15) = 0

x = 0 or 15

Since x can't be 0, x must be 15.

A piano has 52 white keys. Write and use an equation to find the number of octaves on a piano keyboard.
Firdavs [7]
There are 7 keys in each octave (C,D,E,F,G,A and B) so it would make sense to divide 52 to 7.
52/7=7 octaves and 3 extra kets

A) 5000 m²
b) A(x) = x(200 -2x)
c) 0 < x < 100
Step-by-step explanation:
b) The remaining fence, after the two sides of length x are fenced, is 200-2x. That is the length of the side parallel to the building. The product of the lengths parallel and perpendicular to the building is the area of the playground:
A(x) = x(200 -2x)
__
a) A(50) = 50(200 -2·50) = 50·100 = 5000 . . . . m²
__
c) The equation makes no sense if either length (x or 200-2x) is negative, so a reasonable domain is (0, 100). For x=0 or x=100, the playground area is zero, so we're not concerned with those cases, either. Those endpoints could be included in the domain if you like.
