Answer:
5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shorter side be a, longer side be b, hypotenuse be c
By Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c²
a² + (a + 7)² = (a + 8)²
a² + a² + 14a + 49 = a² + 16a + 64
a² - 2a - 15 = 0
a² + 3a - 5a - 15 = 0
a(a + 3) - 5(a + 3) = 0
(a + 3)(a - 5) = 0
a = -3 or a = 5
Because a is a side length and is a positive number
a = 5
Answer:
25 = c
Step-by-step explanation:
You had a good start on filling in the values in the Pythagorean Theorem. The work needed to be finished.
Answer:
24y+24
Step-by-step explanation:
You multiply the number on the outside of the parenthesis with both the numbers on the inside of the parenthesis. The + stays the same.
4*6y=24y
4*6=24
Hope this helps!
Answer:
= 3b/4
Step-by-step explanation:
= b . 4/12 + b . 3/12 + b . 2/12
Apply the fraction rule: a/c + b/c = a + b/c
= b . 4 + b . 3 + b . 2/12
= 4b + 3b + 2b/12
Add similar elements: 4b + 3b + 2b = 9b
= 9b/12
Cancel 9b/12: 3b/4
= 3b/4
