Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
50 inches 4/5*x=40
x=40/(4/5)
x=40*5/4=200/4=50 x=50 inches

No
Step-by-step explanation:
The 9 in 900.876 is 900 and the 9 in 6.91 is .9 and if you look at the place value, you'll see that 900 is larger than .9
Answer:
1. 4(10+8) 40+32=72
2. 5(15*3-2) 5(45-2) 225-10=215
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes because the perimeter of the bulletin is 23 feet. this is because to find perimeter you use 2(L)+2(W).
