What is the length of leg y of the right triangle?

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

y² + 84² = 85²

y² + 7056 = 7225 ( subtract 7056 from both sides )

y² = 169 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = \sqrt{169} = 13

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem:

a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2} , where a and b are the legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse

In this case, we already know b (b = 84) and c (c = 85), so we need to solve for a:

a^{2} = c^{2} - b^{2} = 85^{2} - 84^{2} = 169 = 13^{2}

Thus, a = y = 13.

Solve the system of equations<br> .625x - y = -9.625<br> -65x - y = -5
Ivan
Here, 0.625x - y = -9.625
y = 0.625x + 9.625

Substitute the value of y in 2nd equation, 
-65x - (0.625x + 9.625) = -5
-65x - 0.625x -9.625 = -5
-65.625x = 9.625 - 5
x = -4.625/65.625
x = -0.070

Now, substitute it in first equation, 
-65(-0.070) - y = -5
4.58 + 5 = y
y = 9.58

In short, Your Answer would be: (-0.070, 9.58)

Hope this helps!
