Answer:
these are quadratic graphs
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer shortest side would
Be 18.
64 -18 = 46
46 divided by 2 = 23.
So if two of the sides was the same 18 would be the smallest one of the sides could be
To write this in standard form, you need to eliminate the
fraction in the coefficient of variable x. You can do this by multiplying 8 to
the two sides of the equation:
8(y) = 8[(-5/8)x + 3]
8y = -5x + 24
Transpose the variable x to the other side:
5x + 8y = 24
Answers:
hypotenuse = 20 feet
longer leg = 16 feet
======================================================
Explanation:
c = x = length of the hypotenuse
a = x-4 = length of one of the legs
b = 12 = length of the other leg
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + (x-4)^2 = (x)^2
144 + x^2 - 8x + 16 = x^2
144 - 8x + 16 = 0 .... the x^2 terms cancel
160-8x = 0
160 = 8x
8x = 160
x = 160/8
x = 20 is the hypotenuse
x-4 = 20-4 = 16 is the longer leg
--------
Check:
12^2+16^2 = 144+256 = 400
20^2 = 400
Since 12^2+16^2 = 20^2 is true, this means we have a right triangle with legs of 12 and 16, while the hypotenuse is 20. The answer is confirmed.
