Answer:

Hypotenuse: 41 meters, Long leg: 40 meters, Short leg: 9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we have the following information about the lengths of the right triangle:

Hypotenuse

3\cdot x + 14

Long leg

3\cdot x + 13

Short leg

x

By the Pythagoric Theorem, we have the following expression:

(3\cdot x + 14)^{2} = x^{2} + (3\cdot x + 13)^{2} (1)

9\cdot x^{2}+84\cdot x + 196 = x^{2} + 9\cdot x^{2} + 78\cdot x + 169

9\cdot x^{2} + 84\cdot x + 196 = 10\cdot x^{2} + 78\cdot x +169

x^{2} -6\cdot x -27 = 0

(x-9)\cdot (x+3) = 0

As length is a positive variable by nature, then the only possible solution is x = 9. Lastly, the side lengths of the right triangle are:

Hypotenuse: 41 meters, Long leg: 40 meters, Short leg: 9 meters.

Walk = x + 6
Bike = x
Driven = x

x + x + x + 6 = 24
combine like terms

3x + 6 = 24
subtract 6 from both sides 

3x = 18
divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

x = 6

Walk = x + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12

12 students walk to school.

63. it's a cube so all you have to do is find the surface area of one side and multiply it by 6 (or you can use the actual formula)

side length^2= 8^2=64
64*6=384cm^2

Least common multiple of 9(x+2)(2x-1) and 3x+2
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

LCM(9, -1, -1, +2, +2, +2) = 2×3^2 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

9 = 32

-1 = -1

-1 = -1

+2 = 2

+2 = 2

+2 = 2

LCM = 2×3^2 = 18

18 / 9 = 2

18 / -1 = -18

18 / -1 = -18

18 / +2 = 9

18 / +2 = 9

18 / +2 = 9
