Solution
X =1
Since this is a right triangle, we can just use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the side SU:
Length of Hypotenuse^2 = Length of First Leg^2 + Length of Second Leg^2
SU^2 = ST^2 + TU^2
SU = sqrt(ST^2 + TU^2)
SU = sqrt(42^2 + 56^2)
SU = sqrt(4900)
SU = 70
Therefore, the answer is is 70 centimeters.
Answer: He has 287 home runs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define:
H = home runs of Hank
J = home runs of Jones.
We know that:
H = 2*J - 181
H = 755
Then we can replace the second equation into the first one:
755 = 2*J - 181
(755 - 181)/2 = J
287 = J
