In the problem, two legs measurement were given such as:
Leg 1 = 12 inches
Leg 2 = 15 inches

We need to solve for the third leg. Since it is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean theorem in solving the missing leg:
c²=b²+a²

When we assume that the third leg is the "c", we can for the value such as:
c² = 12²+15²
c=19.21

When we assume that the third is either "a" or "b":
15² =a² + 12²
a=9

Then, the possible measurement of the third leg is 9 or 19.21.
The difference between the two possible answer is shown below:
Difference = 19.21 -9 = 10.21
Difference =10.21

The sum of two numbers is 44 . One number is 3 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

11 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The the smaller number be x. Since the other number is 3 times as large as the other, we can represent the large number as 3x. Because they add up to 44, we have the following equation:

x+3x=44

Combine like terms:

4x=44

Divide both sides by 4:

x=\frac{44}{4}=\boxed{11}

Substitute x=11 into 3x to find the larger number:

11\cdot 3=\boxed{33}

Therefore, the two numbers are 11 and 33.

Find LM.<br> 2x-16 x-9<br> 11<br> L<br> M<br> N
katrin [286]

Answer:

LM is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

LM --> (2x-16)+(x-9) =11

Solve for x

  • 2x+x-16-9 =11
  • 3x-25=11
  • 3x=36
  • x=12

Plug in this value for LM equation to solve for LM:

  • (2x-16)
  • 2(12)-16
  • 24-16 = 8

LM is 8

Can you guys help me with this
Nonamiya [84]

The measure of angle C is 60 degrees. All the angles have to equal 180 degrees when added together. Since there is one right angle, 90 degrees, and one 30 degree angle, the last angle can only equal 60 degrees.
