Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8

Answer:
y = 112
Step-by-step explanation:
If y varies directly as the square of x
mathematically;
y ∝ x²
y = kx² where 'k' is the constant of proportionality
let u know the value of k for this equation by making k the subject of the formular from y = kx²
divide both sides by x²
k = y / x²
given that y = 567 x = 9
k = 567/(9)²
k = 567/81
k = 7
now to get the value of y when x = 4
from the equation conneting x, y,
y = kx²
y = 7 × (4)²
y = 7 × 16
y = 112

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 3 classrooms that each have 25 desks and there are a total of 87 students, how many more desks need to be added to a 4th classroom, that was originally empty, so that each of the students has a desk to sit in?
25 * 3 = 75
87 - 75 = 12
