Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer:
Estimation is just giving a general answer to the situation and can be specified on specifics depending on the numbers used and whichever question it's asking. But also remember that whenever you estimate your answer will be an approximate answers, not an exact.
You would have to do the change in y over the change in x
1. 1-1/6-0
2. 0/6 and any time you divide zero by a number the answer is zero.
Answer:
Pam: $181
Amanda: $362
Julie: $452
Step-by-step explanation:
(What does Mike have to do with this problem?)
Let a = Amanda's pay
Let p = Pam's pay
Let j = Julie's pay
"Amanda made twice what Pam earned"
a = 2p
"Julie made $90 more than Amanda"
j = a + 90
j = 2p + 90
Pam earned p
Total salary
a + p + j = 2p + p + 2p + 90
Total salary
$995
2p + p + 2p + 90 = 995
5p = 905
p = 181
a = 2p = 2(181) = 362
j = 2p + 90 = 362 + 90 = 452
Answer:
Pam: $181
Amanda: $362
Julie: $452
Answer: 30 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
So fist we add 40% and $40%. That's 80 percent of the tank which is 12 + 12 = 24. Then we figure out half of 40 percent which is 20 which means its 6 gallons. Now we add. 12+12+6 which equals our answer 30 gallons
