Area = 36 = length*width
Then, while the area is constant the product length*width is constant.
Length and area are inversely related.
That means that to keep the same product (area), length vary in inverse proportion to width.
If you increase length, widht has to decrease to satisfy this relation:
width = 36/length
Of course, you can also say: length = 36 / width.
Answer: 5.9 cm for both triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms 2 right triangles we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where c is the hypotenuse of a triangle (the longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the other sides.
Replacing with the values given:
c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2
c^2 = 9+25
c^2 = 34
c = √34
c = 5.9 cm
Since both triangles are identical ( same side lengths) the hypotenuse is the same for both, 5.9 cm.
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
