Answer:
9.233 ft, 23.233 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg is x+14 and the Pythagorean theorem tells you ...
x^2 + (x +14)^2 = 25^2
2x^2 +28x +196 = 625
x^2 +14x = 214.5
x^2 +14x +49 = 263.5
(x +7)^2 = 263.5
x = -7 +√263.5 ≈ 9.23268
The two leg lengths are √263.5 ± 7 feet, {9.23 ft, 23.23 ft}.
Answer:
The answer is just 1 and 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
To understand this problem, you must think of what whole numbers actually are.
Whole numbers consist of Positive integers and Zero.
Positive integers include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... etc
Zero is 0
The reason 
isn't a whole number is because that fraction doesn't reduce any further and does not yield a whole number.
Question 1:Multiply both sides of the proportion by 35.
You get.
7(x-1) = 4x+2
7x-7 = 4x+2
Now, add both sides by 7 and subtract both sides by 4x
3x = 9
Divide both sides by 3
x=3
Question 2:Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of
by 3.
We want to multiply it by 3 so that the +1 and +3 become +3 and +9. +3 and +9 have a difference of 6, just like 15 and 21, which is what we want.
Set the numerator equal to the numerator and the denominator equal to the denominator.
3x+3 = 15
3x+9 = 21
If you solve both of these, you get x=4 for both.
That's your answer.
Hope this helps! :)
1+4=5
2+5=7
5+7=12
3+6=9
12+9=21
I do not see21 up here so please cheek your question again or please change the 19 to a 21
