Answer:
hmmm not sure
Step-by-step explanation:
try mulitply the numbers
Answer:
x=2-y/2
y=12/7-6x/7
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first one I believe that the numbers are both odd and I am not sure about the second one sorry
The answer, in short, is that the short leg equals 15 mm, the long leg equals 20 mm, and the hypotenuse equals 25mm. but if you'd like to see how I solved it, here are the steps.
-----------------------------
The Pythagorean theorem (also known as Pythagoras's Theorem) can be used to solve this. This theorem states that one leg or a right triangle squared plus the other side of that same triangle squared equals the hypotenuse of that triangle squared. To put it in equation form, L² + L² = H².
Let's call the longer leg B, the shorter leg A, and the hypotenuse H.
From the question, we know that A = B - 5, and H = B + 5.
So if we put those values into an equation, we have (B - 5)² + B² = (B + 5)²
Now, to solve. Let's square the two terms in parentheses first:
(B² - 5B - 5B + 25) + B² = B² + 5B + 5B + 25
Now combine like terms:
2B² -10B + 25 = B² + 10B + 25
And now we simplify. Subtract 25 from each side:
2B² - 10B = B² + 10B
Subtract B² from each side:
B² - 10B = 10B
Add 10B to each side:
B² = 20B
And finally, divide each side by B:
B = 20
So that's the length of B. Now to find out A and H.
A = B - 5, so A = 15.
H = B + 5, so H = 25.
And your final answer is A = 15mm, B = 20mm, and H = 25mm
