Answer:

SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.

The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4

The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg:  c = a + 8

 

Use the Pythagorean Theorem:

 

a2 + b2 = c2

a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2

a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64

a2 - 8a - 48 = 0

 

Factors to:

 

(a-12)(a+4) = 0

a = 12, -4

 

Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12

Shorter Leg = 12 inches

Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches

Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches

FromTheMoon [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

The shadow of the bird house is 14/3.5 = 4 times the length of your friend's shadow. Consequently, we expect the height of the bird house to be 4 times the height of your friend:

  4(5 ft) = 20 ft

The height of the bird house is 20 ft.

Average number of jumps on lowest bar = 3/2 = 1.5

Average number of jumps on middle bar = 6/4 = 1.5

Average number of jumps on highest bar = 4/1 = 4

Overall average number of jumps = 3/2 + 6/4 + 4/1 = 7

Overall average number of jumps =

+ 1/probability of complete the lowest bar

+1/probability of complete the middle bar

+ 1/probability of complete the highest bar

Equations of Shane’s overall average number of jumps completed = x * (7/13), where x is the total number of overall jumps.
