All your doing here is 37-19 adding negative is the same has munising
So 37-19=18
Answer: 35 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
hypotenuse = 5*y in
cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in
cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in
The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:
5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76
5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76
We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.
The shorter leg is x + 3, then:
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
Then we have the equations:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y - (x + 3) = 17
With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.
x = 5*y - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20
x = 5*y - 20
Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:
5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76
5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76
15*y - 40 + 13 = 76
15*y - 29 = 76
15*y = 76 + 29 = 105
and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:
3*(5*y) = 105
5*y = 105/3 = 35
5*y = 35
Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
gradient = slope or several other words.
it describes how strongly a line (or tangent to a bent curve) is going up or down or ... if it is changing at all.
it is represented by the ratio
(y coordinate change / x coordinate change)
when going from one point on the line to another.
in our case, when going from A to B we have
x changes by -2k (from 3k to k).
y changes by -11 (from 8 to -3).
so, the gradient or slope is
-11/-2k = 3
11/2k = 3
11 = 3×2k = 6k
k = 11/6
A = (33/6, 8) = (11/2, 8)
B = (11/6, -3)
Where is the question. though
