The real way is to subtract the term with the variable on the right first, but both Spencer and Jeremiah are correct. When you do them both, they arrive at the same answer, only that Spencer's would be 2/5, and Jeremiah's would be -2/-5, which is 2/5, because you divide negative by a negative. It doesn't matter which term with the variable you would cancel out first. Either way, you still arrive at the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the length of both legs of the right angle triangle are given, we would determine the hypotenuse, h by applying Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = one leg² + other leg²
Therefore,
h² = (3a)³ + (4a)³
h² = 27a³ + 64a³
h² = 91a³
Taking square root of both sides,
h = √91a³
The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is expressed as
Perimeter = a + b + c
a, b and c are the side length of the triangle. Therefore, the expression for the perimeter of the right angle triangle is
√91a³ + (3a)³ + (4a)³
= √91a³ + 91a³
