Answer:
82 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between consecutive even integers is 2, thus
let the legs be n and n + 2
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
n² + (n + 2)² = 58² ← expand and simplify left side
n² + n² + 4n + 4 = 3364 ( subtract 3364 from both sides )
2n² + 4n - 3360 = 0 ( divide all terms by 2 )
n² + 2n - 1680 = 0 ← in standard form
(n + 42)(n - 40) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n + 42 = 0 ⇒ n = - 42
n - 40 = 0 ⇒ n = 40
But n > 0 ⇒ n = 40
and n + 2 = 40 + 2 = 42
Thus sum of legs = 40 + 42 = 82 inches
Answer:
14.212 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean Theorem.
sqrt(9^2+11^2) = 14.212
Answer:
Option C. 10 square inch
Step-by-step explanation:
Net of a prism is shown on the coordinate plane. We have to calculate the surface area of the prism.
To calculate the surface area of the net we will calculate the area of the four large rectangles and two squares given in the picture.
Total surface area of the net = 2× small squares + 4×large rectangles
= 2×(1×1) + 4×(1×2) = 2 + 8 = 10 square inch.
Therefore option C. 10 square inch is the answer.
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance that a is to b is b-a=17-2=15.
The line segment from a=2 to b=17 has length 15.
We need to know what is 3/5 of 15.
3/5 of 15 means what is 3/5 times 15?
(3/5)(15)=3(3)=9
So this means we are looking to make a line segment that is 9 units from 2 which is 2 to 11.
So 11 is 3/5 the way from a=2 to b=17.
Let's check from 2 to 11 that is a length of 9 and from 2 to 17 that is a length of 15.
Is 9/15 equal to 3/5?
Yes, 9/15 can be reduced to 3/5.
