Answer:

Two possible lengths for the legs A and B are:

B = 1cm

A = 14.97cm

Or:

B = 9cm

A = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle rectangle, Pythagorean's theorem says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse squared.

Then if the two legs of the triangle are A and B, and the hypotenuse is H, we have:

A^2 + B^2 = H^2

If we know that H = 15cm, then:

A^2 + B^2 = (15cm)^2

Now, let's isolate one of the legs:

A = √( (15cm)^2 - B^2)

Now we can just input different values of B there, and then solve the value for the other leg.

Then if we have:

B = 1cm

A = √( (15cm)^2 - (1cm)^2) = 14.97

Then we could have:

B = 1cm

A = 14.97cm

Now let's try with another value of B:

if B = 9cm, then:

A = √( (15cm)^2 - (9cm)^2) = 12 cm

Then we could have:

B = 9cm

A = 12cm

So we just found two possible lengths for the two legs of the triangle.

Jamal has two investments, one in Company A, and another in Company B. Jamal purchased 300 shares in Company A at $1.45 per shar
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A:

Buy 300 shares at $1.45 per share.

Sell 300 shares at $1.65 per share.

Profit: ($1.65 - $1.45) * 300 = $60

Company B:

Buy 200 shares at $1.20 per share.

Sell 200 shares at $1.10 per share.

Loss: ($1.20 - $1.10) * 200 = $20

Net profit:

$40 - $20 = $20
