The right triangle is assumed to be inscribed in the rectangle, such that
hypotenuse is the diagonal of the rectangle.
- The length of the hypotenuse of the triangle is <u>26 cm</u>.
Reasons:
Let <em>x</em> and<em> </em><em>y</em> represent the length of the sides of the rectangle
Whereby the base and height of the right triangle are the same as the
length and width of the rectangle, we have;
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2·x + 2·y = 68
Therefore;
x + y = 34
The base of the right triangle = x
The height of the right triangle = y
By Pythagoras's theorem, the length of the hypotenuse side = √(x² + y²)
Therefore; Perimeter of the right triangle = x + y + √(x² + y²) = 60
Which gives;
∴√(x² + y²) = 60 - (x + y) = 60 - 34 = 26
The length of the hypotenuse side, √(x² + y²) = <u>26 cm</u>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Six times a number is decreased by fourteen, the result is 124.
Write an equation that represents this
(6 * x) - 14 = 124
Multiply 6 by x to remove the parenthesis
6x - 14 = 124
Add 14 to both sides of the equation
6x = 138
Divide both sides of the equation by 6
x = 23
The unknown number is
