She began with 20.

If she bought 7 more books and ended up with 17, that means she had ten beforehand. If she had half remaining, we simply double it, thus getting 20.

Answer:

A - 7 = -13

Add 7

A = -6

10X - 8 = 9X + 8

Add 8

10X = 9X + 16

Subtract 9X

X = 16

In a right triangle, where a and b are the shorter sides, and c is the longer side a^2+b^2=c^2

Thus, plug in the values.

12^2+16^2=20^2

144+256=400

400=400.

Because the equation is true, 12, 16, and 20 can be a right triangle

Hope it helps <3

The area of a right triangle is sixty square centimetres. Its base is one centimetre less than twice its height. If the base and

Answer:

5. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

We have this information:

A = 60 cm2

b = 2*h - 1

Let's find out b and h:

The equation of the are of a triangle is A = (b*h)/2, if we replace it with our information, we have

$60 = ((2*h - 1) * h)/2\\ 120 = 2*h^2 - h\\ 0 = 2*h^2 - h - 120$

Let's find h with the quadratic formula:

$\fbox {Quadratic formula:} \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$h = \frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4*2*(-120)}}{2*2} = \frac{1\pm\sqrt{961}}{4} = \frac{1\pm\ 31}{4}$

h = 8 or h = -7.5

But h represents the height of the triangle, so it has to be a positive number, that's h = 8.

If we replace this in the equation we had for b, we have that b = 2*8 - 1 = 15.

Now we can calculate the hypotenuse with the Pythagorean equation

$\fbox {Pythagorean equation:}$ The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).
