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
Answer:
11.45
Step-by-step explanation:
the circumference is 36 so divide it by pie then rounded it to the nearest hundredths place
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to set each runner's plan equal to each other because they are equal in the end. You start with 7 miles for Angelo and 4 miles for Marc.
x is a variable that is multiplied by the number of weeks it takes for both runners' distances to be equal. So multiply x by the miles increased every week.
Marc = Angelo
2x + 4 = x + 7
x = 3
In 3 weeks each runner will run 10 miles for the week.
Answer:
the total cost of the bike including modifying cost is $24,150
Step-by-step explanation:
⇒ bike cost: $21,000
⇒ 15% of $21,000 is 0.15 x 21,000 = 3,150
⇒ initial + additional cost: $21,000 + $3,150 = $24,150

Answer:
<h2><u><em>
2.74 m</em></u></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>convert to meters</em></u>
6 dm = 0.6 m
40 mm = 0.04 m
2 m = 2 m
10 cm = 0.1 m
sum
0.6 + 0.04 + 2 + 0.1 =
2.74 m
