Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
$12,500 x 5% = $625.
$12,500 + $625 = $13,125.
Answer: 16 quarts.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 quart = 1/4 gallon.
4 quarts = 1 gallon.
If you have 4 gallons, then you need to multiply 4 by 4, because every gallon is equal to 4 quarts.
4 x 4 = 16.
Therfore, there are 16 quarts in 4 gallons.
The diameter of the circle is 11.8 units
<h3>How to determine the diameter of the circle?</h3>
The circle equation is given as:
(x - 2)^2 + (y + 6)^2 = 35
A circle equation is represented as:
(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2
Where
Diameter = 2r
By comparing both equations, we have
r^2 = 35
Take the square root of both sides
r = 5.9
Multiply by 2
2r = 11.8
Hence, the diameter of the circle is 11.8 units
