Answer:

\Huge\boxed{x=7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

The first thing we want to do is find the measure of the large leg

To do so we use the Pythagorean theorem which says a^2+b^2=c^2\\

where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse

we want to find b given the hypotenuse and short leg

so  b^2=c^2-a^2

all we have to do is plug in a ( a = short leg so a would equal 12) and c ( c = hypotenuse so c would equal 37)

so

b^2=37^2-12^2\\37^2=1369\\12^2=144\\1369-144=1225\\b^2=1225\\\sqrt{b^2} =b\\\sqrt{1225} =35\\b=35

so the longer leg is equal to 35

35=5x

divide each side by 5

5x/5=x

35/5=7

we're left with x=7

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: $221.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Each wall has a length of 12 and a height of 8 and there are 4 walls

(12 x 8) x 4 = 384 sq ft

multiply sq ft by cost ($0.33)

384 x 0.33 = $126.72 for the walls and door

The ceiling has a length of 12 and a width of 12

12 x 12 = 144 sq ft

multiply sq ft by cost ($0.66)

144 x 0.66 = 95.04

add the costs

126.72 + 95.04 = $221.76 total
