Answer:

21 meters and 29 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x + 8) = 50

2x + 8 = 50

2xc = 42

x = 21

x + 8 = 29

Refer to the triangle below. If a = 4 and b = 6, solve for c. show work Also, give the unsimplified radical form answer and then
9966 [12]

Look at the image below where I labeled the sides

To solve this you must use Pythagorean theorem:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)

c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

In this case...

a = 4

b = 6

c = unknown

^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem

4^{2} +6^{2} =c^{2}

simplify

16 + 36 = x^{2}

52 = x^{2}

To remove the square from x take the square root of both sides to get you...

√52 = x  

^^^Unsimplified radical

2√13

^^^Simplified radical

7.21

^^^Rounded to hundedths

Hope this helped!

Rollie was succesful in losing weight he had a goal weight in mind he went on a diet for three months each month he would lose o
Llana [10]
Let's say that in the beginning he weighted x and at the end he weighted x-y, y being the number of kg he wanted to loose.

first month he lost
y/3

then he lost:  
(y-y/3)/3
this is
(2/3y)/3=2/9y
explanation: ((y-y/3) is what he still needed to loose: y minus what he lost already

and then he lost
 (y-2/9y-1/3y)/3+3 (the +3 is his additional 3 pounts)
 (y-2/9y-1/3y)/3-3=(7/9y-3/9y)/3+3=4/27y+3

it's not just y/3 because each month he lost one third of what the needed to loose at the current time, not in totatl

and  the weight at the end of the 3 months was still x-y+3, 3 pounds over his goal weight!


so:  x -y/3-2/9y-4/27y-3=x-y+3

we can subtract x from both sides:
-y/3-2/9y-4/27y-3=-y+3
add everything up:

-19/27y=-y+6

which means
-19/27y=-y+6

y-6=19/27y

8/27y=6
4/27y=3
y=20.25

so... that's how much he wanted to loose, but he lost 3 less than that, so 23.25

ps. i hope I didn't make a mistake in counting, let me know if i did. In any case you know HOW to solve it now, try to do the calculations yourself to see if they're correct!
