Let, one leg be x units.
since the other leg is 9.0 units shorter than the other,
the measure of the other leg =x-9
hypotenuse =13.0 units
According to Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.
x^2 +(x-9)^2 =13^2
x^2 + x^2 -18x +81 = 169
2x^2-18x-88=0
Divide the whole equation by 2
x^2 - 9x -44 =0
Let's use the quadratic formula to find the roots.
formula: x= [-b ± sqrt(b^2-4*a*c)]/2*a
a=1 b=-9 c=-44
x= [9±sqrt(81+176)]/2
=[9±sqrt(257)]/2
=[9±16.03]/2
=25.03/2 or -7.03/2
length of a triangle cannot be negative,
Therefore, x=25.03/2 =12.52
one leg =12.5 units
other leg =12.52-9 =3.5 units
Answer:
8:3
16:6
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's check if 9 and 24 have any common factor. If they do have any common ones, we must find the GCF (greatest common factor).
Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The common factors both of the numbers share and 1 and 3. To find the GCF, simply compare one of the factors to the other.
1 < 3
Now that we know the GCF, we can divide the two numbers in the ratio 24 : 9 by it (3).
24:9
24/3:9/3
<u>8:3</u>
Now that our ratio is simplified, it's going to be much easier to find more ratios that are equivalent. <u>8:3</u> is already one equivalent ratio, but if we multiply each number in the ratio by any other number, we can get a new equivalent ratio. Let's multiply each number in the ratio by 2:
<u>8:3</u>
8 ⋅ 2:3 ⋅ 2
<u>16:6</u>
<u></u>
So, another equivalent ratio to 24:9 (and <u>8:3</u>) is <u>16:6</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3,520 yds in 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
5,280:1 ; 1 mile an hour is 5,280 feet in an hour
10,560:2 ; 2 miles in 2 hours is 5,280+5,280 (10,560) feet in 2 hours
3 ft = 1 yd ; every 3 feet is a yard, so divide 10,560 by 3
10,560/3 = 3520 yds ; Jorge can walk 3,520 yds in 2 hours
