Answer: 21, 28

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Side #1 = x
  • Side #2 = x + 7
  • Hypotenuse = 35

Use the Pythagorean Theorem a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}:

  • a = x
  • b = x + 7
  • c = 35

Substitute in the values & solve:

x^{2}+(x+7)^{2}=35^{2}\\x^{2}+x^{2}+14x+49=1225\\2x^{2}+14x+49-1225=0\\2x^{2}+14x-1176=0\\2(x^{2}+7x-588)=0\\2(x + 28)(x - 21)=0\\x_{1}=-28, x_{2}=21

<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

Can someone explain this? :)
Alchen [17]

I'll do part (a) to get you started.

The angle 'a' pairs up with the 123 degree angle as a corresponding angle pair. Due to the parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore a = 123.

We also see that b = 123 as well since a = b (they are vertical angles).

Notice how angle c is adjacent to the 123 degree angle. These two angles form a straight line, so they must add to 180 degrees.

c+123 = 180

c = 180-123

c = 57

-------------------------

To summarize, we have these three angles

a = 123

b = 123

c = 57

Answer: There isn't a possible way you can really answer this question because I don't know how much one piece cost in the first place , but if I had to guess I would say around 50-80 dollars for a cake is enough for 57 guests.

explanation: I say this because I know usually cakes for a decent amount of people are around 50-80 dollars.
