According to Pythagorean theorem,

Δ  (Hypotenuse)² = (1st Leg)² + (2nd Leg)²

⇒  (x + 8)² = x² + 12²

⇒  x² + 64 + 16x = x² + 144

⇒  16x = 80

⇒ x = 5

Hypotenuse = (x + 8) = (5 + 8) = 13

1st Leg = 5

2nd Leg = 12

We know that : Perimeter is the Sum of all sides of the Triangle

⇒  Perimeter = Hypotenuse + 1st Leg + 2nd Leg

⇒  Perimeter = 13 + 5 + 12

⇒  Perimeter = 30

We know that :

\bigstar \ \ \boxed{\sf{\textsf{Area of a Triangle is given by} : \dfrac{1}{2} \times Base \times Height}}

Base = 1st Leg

Height = 2nd Leg

\implies \sf{\textsf{Area of the Triangle} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 12}

\implies \sf{\textsf{Area of the Triangle} = 30}

Answer:

Perimeter = 30

Area = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+8)^2 -x^2 = 12^2

x^2 +16x +64 - x^2 = 144

16x+64=144

16x = 80

x = 5

Double check:

\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = (5+8)\\\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = 13\\13 = 13

Perimeter:

12+5+13=30

Area(\frac{1}{2}bh):

\frac{1}{2} × 12 × 5 = 30

A train left a station a station at noon going 40mph. A second train left at 3 p.m. going 60mph. At what time will the second tr
Sati [7]

Here speed of first train is slower than speed of second train. So if they catch up , the distance traveled will be same since they left the same station at different times.

But the time traveled will be different .

Let us say the two trains meet at time t ,

Distance = speed * time

Distance traveled by first train = 40 t

Since second train is leaving after three hours , so

Distance traveled by second train = 60(t-3)

As discussed earlier, distance traveled will be same, so

40t =60(t-3)

distributing 60 over t-3

40t =60t-180

60t -40t=180

20t =180

t =180/20

t=9

So the second train will meet the first at 9 p.m.
