Answer:
it looks like 7
Step-by-step explanation:
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
0.03 compare to 0.003
While comparing decimals we write the decimals one below the other according to the place value of each digits in place value chart
ones -- point -- Tenths -- Hundredths -- Thousandths
0 . 0 3
0 . 0 0 3
Now we compare each digit left to right. We have 3 in hundredths and 0 in hundredths place. 3 is greater
So 0.03 is greater than 0.003
0.03 > 0.003
Using the SA formula you'll have to substitute in the edge length for s.
SA = 6(312)²
SA = 584064
The surface area is 584,064 feet²
Hope this helps :)
