Answer:
5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shorter side be a, longer side be b, hypotenuse be c
By Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
a² + (a + 7)² = (a + 8)²
a² + a² + 14a + 49 = a² + 16a + 64
a² - 2a - 15 = 0
a² + 3a - 5a - 15 = 0
a(a + 3) - 5(a + 3) = 0
(a + 3)(a - 5) = 0
a = -3 or a = 5
Because a is a side length and is a positive number
a = 5
Answer:
y= 1.5x
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is 0 so we don't put anything there. The slope is 1.5. You can find the slope by using rise and run.
Break the mile in to 6 pieces and run 5 parts of the mile
Answer:
-3x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
"Rise over Run"
(0, 5) => (1,2): Goes down (negative slope) 3 units and right 1 unit.
The Y intercept is 5 so the constant is 5.
