Answer:

Length = 6 + 23 = 29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = x + 23

2x + 2(x+23) = 70

2x + 2x + 46 = 70

4x = 70-46

x = 24/4

x = 6

Find the length of the missing side

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

c = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle triangle we can use the Pythagoras theorem that states that $c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$ (where c is the Solve for hypotenuse and "a" and "b" are the legs of the right angle triangle). From here we know that the answer to this question is....

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}\\c^{2} = 15^{2} + 8^{2} \\c^{2} = 225 + 64\\c^{2} = 289\\c = \sqrt{289} \\c = 17$
