We need Pythagoras theorem here
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a, b = legs of a right-triangle
c = length of hypotenuse
Let S=shorter leg, in cm, then longer leg=S+2 cm
use Pythagoras theorem
S^2+(S+2)^2 = (10 cm)^2
expand (S+2)^2
S^2 + S^2+4S+4 = 100 cm^2 [collect terms and isolate]
2S^2+4S = 100-4 = 96 cm^2
simplify and form standard form of quadratic
S^2+2S-48=0
Solve by factoring
(S+8)(S-6) = 0 means (S+8)=0, S=-8
or (S-6)=0, S=6
Reject nengative root, so
Shorter leg = 6 cm
Longer leg = 6+2 cm = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (given) = 10 cm
It’s the sixth one good luck stay safe and thank you if you give me brainliest
4 1/5
hope this helped, im better at algebra tho :)
Answer:
y+3 = 2(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a slope and a point, we can use the point slope form for an equation of a line
y -y1= m(x-x1)
where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point
y--3 = 2(x-4)
y+3 = 2(x-4)
There are 50 employees in total
<h3>How to determine the total employee?</h3>
The given parameter is:
Part-time = 8% of total employee
Rewrite as:
Part-time = 8% * total employee
There are 4 part-time employees.
So, we have:
8% * total employee = 4
Divide both sides by 8%
total employee = 50
Hence, there are 50 employees in total
