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
So essentially an adjacent angle is when two angles have a common side and a common vertex.
So knowing that we can determine from the picture all the adjacent angles:
D) <2 and <3 are adjacent angles
E) <1 and <3 are adjacent angles
F) <1 and <5 are adjacent angles
I hope this helps.
So, you should add the heighth twice and add the width twice too, then add those two together to get your answer.
3.15 /7 = 0.45
3.20/8 = 0.40
4.10/10 = 0.41
4.80/16 = 0.3
Answer is 1. 7 stamps worth 3.15
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
When you look at the triangle look at the 3 vertices. Now look at you answers given and choose one that combines all 3 vertices. You don't want your answer to contain a letter/number that represents the length of a side.
So in this case you don't want M or Y in you answer.
Your answer has to be made up of A X andT.
The only answer that uses AXT is answer B.
