Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras Theorem:

x^2 + ( x+ 10)^ 2 = 50^2\\\\x^2 + (x^2 + 100 + 20x ) = 2500\\\\x^2 + x^2 + 20x = 2500 - 100 \\\\2x^2 + 20x = 2400\\\\2x^2 + 20x - 2400 = 0\\\\2(x^2 + 10x - 1200) = 0\\\\x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0\\\\x^2 + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0\\\\x(x + 40 ) -30(x + 40) = 0\\\\(x+40)(x - 30) = 0\\\\x = -40, \ x = 30

Since x is the measurement of a side, it can't be negative. Therefore x = 30

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

here 50 is hypotenuse as it is opposite of 90 degree.

x and x + 10 are the two other smaller sides of a right angled triangle respectively.

using pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (x + 10)^2 = 50^2

x^2 + x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 = 2500

2x^2 + 20x + 100 - 2500 = 0

2x^2 + 20x - 2400 = 0

2(x^2 + 10x - 1200) = 0

x^2 + 10x - 1200 = 0

x^2 + (40 - 30) - 1200 = 0

x^2 + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0

x(x + 40) - 30(x + 40x) = 0

(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0

either x + 40 = 0          OR x - 30 = 0

x = 0 - 40

x = -40

x - 30 = 0

x = 30

x = -40,30

since the length and distance is not measured in negative ur answer will be 30

The 12th term and the sim of 1+3+5+7+.....
zzz [600]

To find this, first find the factor or rate of which the numbers are moving. To do so do as follows.

subtract 1 from 3

3-1=2

So each number is having 2 added to it.

Now add two to 7 and the numbers afterwards till you get the 12th term

7+2=9

1+3+5+7+9

9+2=11

1+3+5+7+9+11

11+2=13

1+3+5+7+9+11+13

13+2=15

1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15

15+2=17

1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17

17+2=19

1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19

19+2=21

1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21

21+2=23

1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21+23

So 23 is the 12th term
