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:
1/4 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
If I want to walk from my house to a clothing store 3/4 of a mile away, this implies that the location is 0.75 miles from my home.
Now, if after walking 1/2 mile I decide to stop, I will have traveled 0.5 miles in total. In this way, when I get back on my way, I will have to travel 0.25 miles to reach my destination (0.75 - 0.50).
Therefore, since 1 divided by 4 equals 0.25, I have to walk 1/4 mile to reach my destination.

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
