Let, one leg be x units.
since the other leg is 9.0 units shorter than the other,
the measure of the other leg =x-9
hypotenuse =13.0 units
According to Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.
x^2 +(x-9)^2 =13^2
x^2 + x^2 -18x +81 = 169
2x^2-18x-88=0
Divide the whole equation by 2
x^2 - 9x -44 =0
Let's use the quadratic formula to find the roots.
formula: x= [-b ± sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)]/2*a
a=1 b=-9 c=-44
x= [9±sqrt(81+176)]/2
=[9±sqrt(257)]/2
=[9±16.03]/2
=25.03/2 or -7.03/2
length of a triangle cannot be negative,
Therefore, x=25.03/2 =12.52
one leg =12.5 units
other leg =12.52-9 =3.5 units
Answer:
The Distributive Property
If he counts 76 feet, that means there’s 38 animals in total, because animals have 2 feet. 76/2=38
Hope that helps..!
Answer:
There are 342 different combinations.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, Aileen is choosing toppings for a pizza.
She can choose two.
There are 19 options that can be chosen once.
The first thing we need to do, is find all the "selections".
Here we have two selections:
Topping number 1
Topping number 2.
Now we need to find the number of options for each one of these selections:
Topping number 1: Here we have 19 options.
Topping number 2: Here we have 18 options (because one was already taken in the previous selection)
The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the numbers of options.
C = 19*18 = 342
There are 342 different combinations.
