Answer:

49 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Right triangle with equal legs given, let the leg be x.

Hypotenuse of isosceles right triangle is

√x² + x² = x√2

Area of triangle:

1/2ah= 1/2x²

Since we have hypotenuse = 14 units:

x√2=14
x= 14/√2

Then area:

1/2x² = 1/2*(14/√2)² = 1/2*14²/2 = 7² = 49 unit²

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find 2 numbers that have a difference of 8.

Let take's 16 and 8.

As we know :

⇒ 16 - 8

⇒ 8

The larger of these 2 numbers is 16

WILL GIVE BRANLIEST!!! Pls help! Determine the coordinates of the point on the straight line y=3x+1 that is equidistant from the

iren [92.7K]

Let , coordinate of points are P( h,k ).

Also , k = 3h + 1

Distance of P from origin :

$d=\sqrt{h^2+k^2}$

Distance of P from ( -3, 4 ) :

$d=\sqrt{(h+3)^2+(k-4)^2}$

Now , these distance are equal :

$h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h+1-4)^2\\\\h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h-3)^2$

Solving above equation , we get :

$P=(\dfrac{16}{21},\dfrac{23}{7})$

Hence , this is the required solution.

a fisherman travels 9mi downstream with the current in the same time he travels 3 mi upstream against the current. if the speed

netineya [11]

Answer:

10 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of boat in still water = x

speed of current = 5

speed of boat with current (downstream) = x + 5

speed of boat against current (upstream) = x - 5

distance downstream = 9

distance upstream = 3

time = t

speed = distance/time

distance = speed × time

downstream:

9 = (x + 5)t

upstream:

3 = (x - 5)t

9 = xt + 5t

3 = xt - 5t

9 = xt + 5t

-3 = -xt + 5t

-----------------

6 = 10t

t = 0.6

9 = (x + 5)0.6

15 = x + 5

x = 10
