Answer:
c i think
i remember having this question
He needs it 4 inches longer because 4 ft is 48 inches.
Answer:
12cm and 16cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle = 20cm
let the other two sides be x and y;
The difference;
x = y - 4
Problem:
Find x and y;
Solution:
According to the pythagoras theorem;
x² + y² = 20² ------ i
x² + y² = 400 ----- i
and x - y = 4 ---- ii
So; x = 4 + y
Now input the value into equation (i);
(y + 4)² + y² = 400
(y+4)(y+4) + y² = 400
y² + y² + 4y + 4y + 16 = 400
2y² + 8y + 16 = 400
2y² + 8y + 16 -400 = 0
2y² + 8y - 384 = 0;
y² + 4y - 192 = 0
Factorize the equation;
y² + 16y - 12y - 192 = 0
y(y + 16) - 12(y + 16) = 0
(y-12)(y + 16) = 0
y -12 = 0 or y+ 16 = 0
y = 12 or -16
It is not realistic for the length of a body to be a negative value, so y= 12;
since;
x - y = 4,
x = 4 + 12
x = 16
What thats so long sjsusjdjss
X= sales tax %
Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)
Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %
The sales tax is 5%.
Hope this helps! :)
