Answer:
x = 6.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2 given squares are the on the legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse x
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 legs , then
x² = 13 + 29.25 = 42.25 ( take square root of both sides )
x =
= 6.5 units
Answer:
Using CPCTC we can derive that WM = 8 and OL = 10.
If

, then by the remainder theorem

has a remainder of 0, which means

is divisible by

. In fact,

So we know 1 is a root, and the other two roots are -1 and -3.
HOW TO SOLVE:
1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
4x + 3x + 5x = 18
3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
12x = 18
4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
x=1.5
5) Find the lengths of the sides:
- 4x = 4(1.5) = 6
- 3x = 3(1.5) = 4.5
- 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5
SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5
It equals 169
