Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth

Lilit [14]

$\huge\bold{Given:}$

Length of the base = 8

Length of the hypotenuse = 17

$\huge\bold{To\:find:}$

The length of the third side '' $x$ ".

$\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Solution}}{\orange{:}}}}}$

$\longrightarrow{\purple{x\:=\: 15}}$

$\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}$

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have

(Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)²

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ ${x}^{2}$ + (8)² = (17)²

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ ${x}^{2}$ + 64 = 289

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ ${x}^{2}$ = 289 - 64

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ ${x}^{2}$ = 225

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $x$ = $\sqrt{225}$

$\longrightarrow{\blue{}}$ $x$ = $15$

Therefore, the length of the missing side $x$ is $15$ .

$\huge\bold{To\:verify :}$

$\longrightarrow{\green{}}$ (15)² + (8)² = (17)²

$\longrightarrow{\green{}}$ 225 + 64 = 289

$\longrightarrow{\green{}}$ 289 = 289

$\longrightarrow{\green{}}$ L.H.S. = R. H. S.

Hence verified.

Given the equation 5 + x - 14 = x - 7.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms on both sides of the equal sign

-9+x= x-7

move similar terms to the same side

-2=0x

divide both sides by x

x=0

One month Tammy rented 2 movies and 6 video games for a total of $ 42 . The next month she rented 5 movies and 3 video games for

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The rental cost of one movie is $2.25 and the rental cost of one video game is $6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rental cost of 1 movie be m.

Let the rental cost of 1 video game be v.

One month, Tammy rented 2 movies and 6 video games for a total of $42. This means that:

2m + 6v = 42 ________ (1)

The next month she rented 5 movies and 3 video games for a total of $30. This means that:

5m + 3v = 30 _________(2)

We now have two simultaneous equations:

2m + 6v = 42 ________ (1)

5m + 3v = 30 _________(2)

Multiply (2) by 2, and we have:

2m + 6v = 42 __________ (1)

10m + 6v = 60 _________ (3)

Subtract (1) from (3):

10m + 6v = 60

-<u> 2m + 6v = 42</u>

=> m = 18 / 8

m = $2.25

Put the value of m back in (1):

2(2.25) + 6v = 42

4.5 + 6v = 42

=> 6v = 42 - 4.5 = 37.5

v = 37.5 / 6

v = $6.25

Therefore, the rental cost of one movie is $2.25 and the rental cost of one video game is $6.25
