a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Let c = hypotenuse = 2x
One of the legs = x. Let a or b = x.
I will let a = x. We can then say that b = 3.
3^2 + x^2 = (2x)^2
9 + x^2 = 4x^2
9 = 4x^2 - x^2
9 = 2x^2
9/2 = x^2
sqrt{9/2} = sqrt{x^2}
3/sqrt{2} = x
Rational denominator.
[3•sqrt{2}]/2 = x = a
Side 3 is given to be 3 feet. So, b = 3.
Hypotenuse = 2x
Hypotenuse = 2([3•sqrt{2}]/2)
Hypotenuse = 3•sqrt{2}
Understand?
The three sides are 3, [3•sqrt{2}]/2 and
3•sqrt{2}.
Answer:
y = 20x + 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the rental rate for a cement mixer has a flat rate of $40 plus $20 for each day of the rental.
That means fixed one time cost is $40 which doesn't changes with time.
If number of days is represented by "x" then rental cost for "x" days will be 20 times x or just 20x.
So the final cost will be sum of fixed cost and the rental cost per day which is:
20x+40
Now if "y" represents total rental cost over time then final cost equation can be written as:
y = 20x + 40
Hence final answer is y = 20x + 40y = 20x + 40.
