The problem is using a right triangle, it means we can use the Pythagorean theorem in solving the problem. We have two possible measurements for the third side.
First length, when the third side is the hypotenuse:
x ² = 15² + 12²
x = 19.21

Second possible length, when the third leg is either an adjacent or base side:
15² = x² + 12² 
x = 9

Therefore, the difference between the two possible answers are shown below:
Difference = 19.21 - 9 = 10.21

Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second. h(x)=-5x^2 +180h(x)=−5x 2 +180
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

x = -6,6

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)=−5x^2 +180

Assuming you want to find the zero's

0 =−5x 2 +180

Subtract 180 from each side

0-180=−5x^2 +180-180

-180 = -5x^2

Divide each side by -5

-180/-5 = -5x^2/-5

36 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt(36) = sqrt(x^2)

±6 = x

x = -6,6
