Answer:
SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4
The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg: c = a + 8
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2
a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64
a2 - 8a - 48 = 0
Factors to:
(a-12)(a+4) = 0
a = 12, -4
Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12
Shorter Leg = 12 inches
Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches
Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches
Its -3.5 hope this helpss
a is equivalent to 18.
2(42 - a) = 48
2(42) + 2(-a) = 48 *distributive property of multiplication
84 - 2a = 48
-2a = 48 - 84
-2a = -36
-2a/-2 = -36/-2
a = 18
to check:
2(42-a) = 48
2(42-18) = 48
2(24) = 48
48 = 48
Answer:
-41
Step-by-step explanation:
if -5 is middle point than y= -5-36=-41
Answer:
13 1/3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
inches/miles = inches/miles
3/10 = 4/x
3x = 40
x = 13 1/3
