Answer:

65.1 and 69.1

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c=95

b=a+4

Solve for a^2+(a+4)^2=95^2

a=65.1

b=a+4=69.1

Answer:

65.1 and 69.1

Step-by-step explanation:

c² = a² + b²

c= 95

a - one leg

b= (a + 4) - second leg

95² = a² + (a + 4)²

9025 = a² + a² + 2*4a + 16

2a² + 8a - 9009 = 0

a= \frac{-b +/-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\a = \frac{-8 +/-\sqrt{8^2 - 4*2*9009} }{2*2} \\\\a=65.1 \ and \ a=- 69.1

A leg length can be only positive. a = 65.1

b = 65.1 + 4 = 69.1

Find X and Y. can someone please help me with this question, thank you
Arturiano [62]

3<em>x</em> + 120° + <em>x</em> + 120° = 360°

4<em>x</em> + 240° = 360°

4<em>x</em> = 120°

<em>x</em> = 30°

<em>y</em> = 1/2 (3<em>x</em> - <em>x</em>)

<em>y</em> = 1/2 (90° - 30°)

<em>y</em> = 1/2 × 60°

<em>y</em> = 30°
