Answer:

25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the hypotenuse is  x cm long the 2 legs are  x-5 and x-10 cm long.

So by the Pythagoras theorem:

x^2 = (x - 5)^2 + (x - 10)^2

x^2 = x^2 - 10x + 25 + x^2 - 20x + 100

x^2 - 30x + 125 = 0

(x - 5)(x - 25) = 0

x = 5, 25

We can discard x = 5 because that would make the lengths of the legs negative so the hypotenuse = 25 cm long.

Answer:

274900

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert a number to and from scientific notation, e notation, engineering notation, standard form, and real numbers. Enter a number or a decimal number or scientific notation and the calculator converts to scientific notation, e notation, engineering notation, standard form and word form formats.

To enter a number in scientific notation use a carat ^ to indicate the powers of 10. You can also enter numbers in e notation. Examples: 3.45 x 10^5 or 3.45e5.

Order of magnitude will also be identified for the calculated standard form. The order of magnitude when written in standard form, is the nth power of 10. For example, 3.4 x 10^5 has an order of magnitude of 5 since 10 is raised to the 5th power.

You need to reverse the symbol to solve which inequality?
Marina86 [1]

When you multiply/divide by a negative number while solving the inequality, you reverse the symbol.

A.)  4(5 - y) ≥ 80       To solve this, isolate/get the variable "y" by itself in the inequality. Divide 4 on both sides

\frac{4(5-y)}{4} \geq \frac{80}{4}

5 - y ≥ 20       Subtract 5 on both sides

5 - 5 - y ≥ 20 - 5

-y ≥ 15     Divide -1 on both sides to get "y" by itself

\frac{-y}{-1} \geq \frac{15}{-1}       Because you are dividing by a negative number, you need to reverse the sign

y ≤ -15

B.) 2(y - 3) ≥ 8      Isolate "y", divide 2 on both sides

y - 3 ≥ 4      Add 3 on both sides to get "y" by itself

y ≥ 7

C.) 3y - 4 > 1       Add 4 on both sides

3y > 1       Divide 3 on both sides to get "y" by itself

y>\frac{1}{3}

D.) -\frac{3}{4} +6y > \frac{1}{4}       Isolate "y", add 3/4 on both sides

6y > 1     Divide 6 on both sides to get "y" by itseld

y>\frac{1}{6}
