The first has value 2500*(1+.05*9)=3625. The second, similarly, has value 4160, and the third, 3400. Thus, the order, from least to greatest, is third, first, second.
A:5
I hope this helps you
Good luck on the rest :)
You have to multiply 4 decimal 5 * 2 and you get your answer and 0.7 * 2 and then you add up those two answers such a bit and see what you get
Answer:
45 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the longer leg. Then the hypotenuse is x+8 and the shorter leg is x-17. The Pythagorean theorem gives the relation between these values as ...
(x +8)^2 = x^2 +(x -17)^2
x^2 +16x +64 = 2x^2 -34x +289 . . . . eliminate parentheses
0 = x^2 -50x +225 . . . . . put in standard form
0 = (x -45)(x -5) . . . . . . . . factor
Solutions to this equation are x=5 and x=45. The value of x must be greater than 17, so the useful solution is x=45.
The length of the longer leg of the triangle is 45 cm.
