Given:
In △ABC is a right angle triangle.
AC is 6 units longer than side BC.
To find:
The length of AC.
Solution:
Let the length of BC be x.
So, Length of AC = x+6
According to the Pythagoras theorem, in a right angle triangle
△ABC is a right angle triangle and AC is hypotenuse, so
![[\because (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Cbecause%20%28a%2Bb%29%5E2%3Da%5E2%2B2ab%2Bb%5E2%5D)
Subtract 68 from both sides.
Divide both sides by 2.
Splitting the middle term, we get
Side cannot be negative, so x=2 only.
Now,
Therefore, the length of AC is 8 units.
The unknowns in this problem are A. The number of boys and the number of girls in the class.
We know there are 7 more girls than boys, but because we don't know how many boys there are, we don't know how many girls there are.
They are not equivalent because:
<em>6*3=18 </em>
but...
<em>4*3=12 <- </em>The ratio says "8" not "12"
If you don't get it just say and I'll explain it further. :)
Have an awesome day!

Hopes this helps !!!!
Answer:
178
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the Hypotenuse
30^2+72^2=78^2
Use perimeter formula
a+b+c
38+72+30
