Pythagorean theorem
c2 = a2 + b2
58^2 = 42^2 + b2
3364 = 1764 + b2
1600 = b2
b = 40
I don’t even know 5x 15 equals 7 because 12inches is a feet
According to HL theorem if one leg and hypotenuse of one right triangle are equal to one leg and hypotenuse of other right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
By using this theorem we can set up the system of equations as follows:
x=y+1 ...(1)
2x+3= 3y + 3 ..(2)
By using equation (1) next step is to plug in y+1 for x in equation (2). So,
2 ( y + 1) + 3 = 3y + 3
2y + 2 + 3 = 3y + 3 By using distribution property.
2y + 5 = 3y + 3
2y + 5 - 5 = 3y + 3 - 5 Subtract 5 from each side.
2y = 3y - 2
2y - 3y = -2 Subtract 3y from each sides.
-y = -2
So, y=2
Next step is to plug in y=2 in equation (1) to get the value of x. Hence,
x= 2+1
=3
So, x=3 and y=2 make these triangles congruent.
So, the correct choice is 3. x = 3, y = 2.
I: 12x-5y=0
II:(x+12)^2+(y-5)^2=169
with I:
12x=5y
x=(5/12)y
-> substitute x in II:
((5/12)y+12)^2+(y-5)^2=169
(25/144)y^2+10y+144+y^2-10y+25=169
(25/144)y^2+y^2+10y-10y+144+25=169
(25/144)y^2+y^2+144+25=169
(25/144)y^2+y^2+169=169
(25/144)y^2+y^2=0
y^2=0
y=0
insert into I:
12x=0
x=0
-> only intersection is at (0,0) = option B
If you are asking how long the string is or the hypotenuse it would be about 75.89466
