Answer:

Hypotenuse = 25cm

Opposite = 24cm

Adjacent = 7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent:

  • The opposite with a
  • The adjacent with b
  • The hypotenuse with c

Given that:

c = 1 + a

c = 4 + 3b

Required

Solve for a, b and c

c = c

So, we have:

1 + a = 4 + 3b

Subtract 1 from both sides

a = 4 -1 + 3b

a = 3 + 3b

Apply Pythagoras Theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Substitute 3 + 3b for a and 4 + 3b for c

(4 + 3b)^2 = (3 + 3b)^2 + b^2

Open brackets

16 + 12b+12b+9b^2 = 9 + 9b+9b+9b^2 +b^2

16 + 24b+9b^2 = 9 + 18b+10b^2

Collect Like Terms

10b^2 - 9b^2 + 18b - 24b + 9 - 16 = 0

b^2 - 6b -7 = 0

Expand

b^2 +b-7b-7=0

Factorize:

b(b+1)-7(b+1) =0

(b-7)(b+1) = 0

Split:

b - 7 = 0\ or\ b+1=0

b = 7\ or\ b=-1

But the adjacent of a triangle can't have a negative measurement.

So:

b = 7

Recall that:

c = 4 + 3b

a = 3 + 3b

Substitute 7 for b in the above expressions

c = 4 + 3 * 7

c = 4 + 21

c = 25

a = 3 + 3 * 7

a = 3 + 21

a = 24

Hence, the dimensions of the triangle are:

Hypotenuse = 25cm

Opposite = 24cm

Adjacent = 7cm

Find the equation of the graphed line.?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

c.  y = x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a straight line whose general form is y = mx + c.

The slope is (0, -6) / (6, 0)

= -6 / -6

= 1 so the coefficient of x , (m)  is 1.

The value of  c ( the y-intercept) is -6.

A customer wants you to enlarge a photo to 22 its current height. The photo's current height is 31 inches. What should its enlar
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The enlarged height of the photo must be 682 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A customer wants to enlarge the image by 22 times

Hence, the scale factor = +22

Now, the current height of the photo = 31 inches

Therefore, to find the enlarged height : we need to multiply the scale factor of the required image by the current height of the photo.

Hence, Enlarged Height = 22 × 31

                                         = 682 inches

So, The enlarged height of the photo must be 682 inches
