One leg of triangle is 7 inches longer than the other leg. The hypotenuse is 8 inches longer than the shorter leg. The perimeter
of the triangle is
1 answer:
Answer:
5 ; 12 ; 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Shorter leg = x
Other leg = x + 7
Hypotenus = x + 8
Recall:
Hypotenus² = opposite² + adjacent²
(x+8)² = x² + (x+7)²
x² + 16x + 64 = x² + x² + 14x + 49
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
x² - 5x + 3x - 15 = 0
x(x - 5) +3(x - 5) = 0
(x + 3) = 0 ; x = - 3
(x - 5) = 0 ; x = 5
Side can't be negative ;
Hence,
x = shorter side = 5
Other side = x + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12
Hypotenus = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13

Answer: (a) 9
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
1st multiple of 3: 1(3x)
2nd multiple of 3: 2(3x)
3rd multiple of 3: 3(3x)
Sum = 4(1st multiple of 3) + 6
1(3x) + 2(3x) + 3(3x) = 4(3x) + 6
3x + 6x + 9x = 12x + 6
18x = 12x + 6
6x = 6
x = 1
Largest (3rd) multiple is: 3(3x)
= 9x
= 9 · 1
= 9
Answer:
1 + 4x - 3 = 6x + 8
4x - 6x = 8 - 1 + 3
-2x = 10|:(-2)
x = -5
