Question:
A question related to this found at brainly (ID:4482275) is stated below.
The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet. Which equations can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle? Check all that apply.
0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24
x(x + 2) = 24
x2 + 2x – 24 = 0
x2 + 2x – 48 = 0
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Find attached the diagram.
Area of triangle = ½ × base × height
= 0.5×b×h
base= x ft
Height = (x+2) ft
Area = 24ft²
24 = 0.5(x)(x+2)
0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24 (A)
The equations that can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle must be equivalent to 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24
On expanding this: 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24
0.5(x²+2x) = 24
b) x(x + 2) = 24
x(x + 2) is not equal to 0.5(x²+2x)
c) x² + 2x – 24 = 0
0.5(x²+2x) = 24
0.5x²+x - 24 = 0 is not equal to x²+2x- 24 = 0
d) x² + 2x – 48 = 0
0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24
½(x)(x + 2) = 24
x² + 2x = 2(24)
x² + 2x – 48 = 0
Correct option (D)
x² + (x + 2)² = 100
x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100
2x² + 4x = 96
2(x² + 2x +48)= 0
x² + 2x +48 = 0 is equal to 0.5(x²+2x) = 24
Correct (E)

Answer:
A's mixture is more acidic.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Two friends mix water and citric acid.
One (Let A) add 3 cups of citric acid for every 16 cups of water and another (Let B)adds 2 cups of citric acid for every 12 cups of water.
Now, we have to find that whose mixture is more acidic means:-
Solution:
A add 3 cups of citric acid for every 16 cups of water, the ratio =
B adds 2 cups of citric acid for every 12 cups of water =
Now, to find that who mix more citric acid in the mixture, firstly we will equalize the denominator of both fraction by taking LCM so that can be compare easily.
LCM of 16 and 12:- <u>48</u>
16 - 16, 32, <u>48</u>, 64, 80, 96....
12 - 12, 24, 36, <u>48, </u>60, 72.......
For friend A -
For friend B -
<em>We found that in terms of 48 cups of water, friend A mixes 9 cups of acid while friend B mixes 8 cups of acid, means A is adding more acid than B and</em> hence friend A's mixture is more acidic.
