Answer:
12cm and 16cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle = 20cm
let the other two sides be x and y;
The difference;
x = y - 4
Problem:
Find x and y;
Solution:
According to the pythagoras theorem;
x² + y² = 20² ------ i
x² + y² = 400 ----- i
and x - y = 4 ---- ii
So; x = 4 + y
Now input the value into equation (i);
(y + 4)² + y² = 400
(y+4)(y+4) + y² = 400
y² + y² + 4y + 4y + 16 = 400
2y² + 8y + 16 = 400
2y² + 8y + 16 -400 = 0
2y² + 8y - 384 = 0;
y² + 4y - 192 = 0
Factorize the equation;
y² + 16y - 12y - 192 = 0
y(y + 16) - 12(y + 16) = 0
(y-12)(y + 16) = 0
y -12 = 0 or y+ 16 = 0
y = 12 or -16
It is not realistic for the length of a body to be a negative value, so y= 12;
since;
x - y = 4,
x = 4 + 12
x = 16
Mary, Anne, and Rose decided to race their three pet snails, Anthony, James, and Thomas to see which was fastest. Anthony finished in 23.38 minutes. James finished in 23.65 minutes. Thomas finished in 23.13 minutes. Order the finish times from least amount of time to greatest to see which snail was the winner of this very intense and serious race.
23.12, 23.38, 23.65
Arianna sold for $ 299.6
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, Part of Arianna’s earnings are based on a 5% commission rate
At the end of the day arianna earned 14.98 in commission
Therefore,
Commission earned = $ 14.98
Commission rate = 5 %
Let "x" be the amount that Arianna sell that day
Therefore, according to question,
5 % of amount earned = 14.98
5 % of "x" = 14.98
<em><u>Solve the above equation for "x"</u></em>
Thus arianna sold for $ 299.6
