To answer this item, we make use of the equation derive from the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides. If we let x be the measure of both the shorter sides (we call this as legs), we have,
(14 in)² = (x²) + (x²)
Simplifying the equation,
196 in² = 2x²
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
98 in² = x²
To get the value of x, we get the square root of both sides of the equation,
x = sqrt (98) = 7√2 inches
Hence, the measure of each leg of the right triangle is 7√2 inches or approximately 9.9 inches.
Answer: x=-2 y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
I decided that isolating the y value of the second equation is the best way to start solving.
I divide 3 from both sides to get y= (4-x)/3. With this, I can substitute into the first equation. 4x+3(4-x)/3)=-2.
The multiplying the 3 by the denominator three cancels each other out to make:
4x+4-x=-2.
We subtract 4 on both sides and then subtract x from 4x.
We end up with 3x=-6. Then, we divide both sides by 3.
x=-2.
Now we substitute this into the second equation to solve.
3y=4-(-2)
This becomes 3y=4+2 which is 3y=6
We divide both sides by 3 to get y=2
We end up with x=-2 and y=2.
I hope you learned something :)
