Replace a with the length of the given leg and c with the length of the hypotenuse and solve for b:

7^2 + b^2 = 25^2

Simplify"

49 + b^2 = 625

Subtract 49 from each side:

b^2 = 625 - 49

b^2 = 576

Take the square root of both sides to solve for b:

b = √576

b = 24

Answer:

A5 is approximately 5.8 by 8.3 inches in size, and it's the closest in size to the U.S. paper size called the “half-letter” size, at 5.5 by 8.5 inches. But here's how all the A-series sizes break down: A0 paper is 841 by 1189 millimeters, approximately 33.1 by 46.8 inches.A5 measures 148 × 210 millimeters or 5.83 × 8.27 inches. In PostScript, its dimensions are rounded off to 420 × 595 points.A5148 x 210mm5.8 x 8.3 inch

7x+1 + 4x-3 = 42
11x-2=42
11x=44
Divide by 11 on both sides which equals:
x=4
To find the length of DE just plug 4 in for x into the equation:
(7x+1) —> 7(4)+1= 29
29 is the length of DE
Then plug in 4 to EF’s equation:
(4x-3) —> 4(4)-3=13
13 is the length for EF
29+13= 42
So in the end, your answer will be 29.
