2 answers:

8 0

5/9(8+c)= -20
⇒ 40/9+ 5/9c= -20
⇒ 5/9c= -20 -40/9
⇒ 5/9c= -24 4/9
⇒ c= -24 4/9/(5/9)
⇒ c= -44

$\frac{5}{9} (8 + c) = -20 \\ \\ \frac{5(8 + c)}{9} = -20 \\ \\ 5(8 + c) = -20 \times 9 \\ \\ 5(8 + c) = -180 \\ \\ 8 + c = - \frac{180}{5} \\ \\ 8 + c = -36 \\ \\ c = -36 - 8 \\ \\ c = -44 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {c = -44}$

The leg of a right triangle is 3 units and the hypotenuse is 7 units. What is the length, in units, of the other leg of the tria

sweet-ann [11.9K]

A^2 + b^2 = c^2....where a and b are the legs, c is the hypotenuse
3^2 + b^2 = 7^2
9 + b^2 = 49
b^2 = 49 - 9
b^2 = 40.....take sqrt of both sides, eliminating the ^2
b = square root of 40 <==
