If you can find one leg of a triangle to be congruent to a leg on the other triangle, then you can use the HL (hypotenuse leg) theorem. If the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Let the side length of the square be x, then A = x^2
but diagonal (z) = sqrt(2x^2)
z^2 = 2x^2
x^2 = 1/2 z^2
Thus, A = 1/2 z^2
dA/dz = 1/2 (2z) = z
The rate of change is z.
When z = 4, the rate is 4.
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 2y - 4 --- Equation 1
7x + 5y = -66 --- Equation 2
I will be using the substitution method to solve this.
Substitute x = 2y - 4 into Equation 2:
7x + 5y = -66
7(2y - 4) + 5y = -66
Evaluate.
14y - 28 + 5y = -66
Evaluate like terms.
19y - 28 = -66
Isolate 19y.
19y = -66 + 28
= -38
Find y.
y = -38 ÷ 19
y = -2 --- Equation 3
Substitute y = -2 into Equation 1:
x = 2y - 4
x = 2(-2) - 4
Evaluate.
x = -4 - 4
x = -8
If you mean the x, it would be 50
