One leg of a right triangle is 7 inches longer than the other leg, and the hypotenuse is 35 inches. Find the lengths of the legs
of the triangle.
1 answer:
Answer: 21, 28
Step-by-step explanation:
- Side #1 = x
- Side #2 = x + 7
- Hypotenuse = 35
Use the Pythagorean Theorem
:
Substitute in the values & solve:

<em><u>-28 is not a possible solution since you can't have negative inches...</u></em>
- a = x = 21
- b = x + 7 = 21 + 7 = 28
- c = 35

Step-by-step explanation:
Linear equations. Make 2 new equations from the question. Name the first number as x and the second as y...
The three interior angles of any triangle add to 180 degress. Therefore,
180-(120 + 40) = the third angle.
So, 20 is the third angle
6(x-2)=3x-12+3x
6x-12=6x-12
Hey babes!
I’m certainly positive that x is equal to 110 degrees.
I hope this helps!
