Answer:
282 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
I just answered this question
X+2 < 7
Subtract both sides by 2
x < 5
Any value where x was less than 5 would be correct.
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
The equation would look like: p - 5.16 = 15.48
because the coupon subtracts 5.16 from p and the price you pay is 15.48
Solve the equation by adding 5.16 to both sides
p = 20.64
The original price of the shirt is $20.64
