Answer:

41 + (D x 1) = L

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the necessary equation to lengthen a road whose initial measure is 41 miles, knowing that a new mile is built every day, the following equation must be performed:

41 + (D x 1) = L

Thus, if 14 days had passed, the length of the journey would be determined as follows:

41 + (14 x 1) = L

41 + 14 = L

55 = L

Therefore, after 14 days, the road's length will be 55 miles.

The hypotenuse of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 10 sqrt 5 in. What is the length of one leg of the triangle?

olga nikolaevna [1]

There is this specific ratio for 45-45-90 triangles where the length of the hypotenuse is radical 2 times as long as a leg. With this in mind, we can create an equation where the length of one leg is represented with the variable x.

x $\sqrt{2}$ = 10 $\sqrt{5}$
divide both sides by $\sqrt{2}$
x = 10 $\sqrt{5}$ / $\sqrt{2}$
x = 10 $\sqrt{10}$ /2
x = 5 $\sqrt{10}$

The length of one leg is 5 $\sqrt{10}$

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle EHG, find the measure of angle EHG.

Ksju [112]

First we need to find all the interior angles. So we know that the inside of a triangle (all the angles added up) equals 180. So we need to equal all the inside angles to 180. 

2x + x + 60 = 180

Now lets start to solve. First let's subtract the 60 from both sides.

2x + x = 120

Now we need to add the x's together.

3x = 120

Now we must divide the 120 by 3 to get x by itself.

x = 40

Now just replace the x with 40 to find each of the sides. I'm guessing the triangles are reflecting each other so <EHG would be equal to 80.

ALSO to check if 40 would be correct, add all the angles together in the same triangle and they SHOULD add up to be 180! Which they do!
