Answer:
9.233 ft, 23.233 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+14 and the Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
x^2 + (x +14)^2 = 25^2
2x^2 +28x +196 = 625
x^2 +14x = 214.5
x^2 +14x +49 = 263.5
(x +7)^2 = 263.5
x = -7 +√263.5 ≈ 9.23268
The two leg lengths are √263.5 ± 7 feet, {9.23 ft, 23.23 ft}.
Answer:
Number of full size cars = 900
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of medium size cars to compacts is 7 to 5 and the ratio of compacts to full-size cars is 8 to 9. Since compact cars are there in both ratios , we need to make the number in the ratio for compact cars to be the same.
Multiply by 8 on numerator and denominator
Multiply numerator and denominator by 5.
Ratio of medium, compact and full size are in ratio 56,40,45.
Total number of cars =2820.
(56 + 40 + 45)x = 2820
x =
x = 20
Number of full size cars = =900
