Answer:

  • 4 and 6 or -6 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are 2x and 2x + 2.

<u>We have:</u>

  • (2x + 2x + 2)² = (2x)² + (2x + 2)² + 48
  • 4(2x + 1)² = 4x² + 4(x + 1)² + 48
  • (2x + 1)² = x² + (x + 1)² + 12
  • 4x² + 4x + 1 = x² + x² + 2x + 1 + 12
  • 2x² + 2x - 12 = 0
  • x² + x - 6 = 0
  • (x - 2)(x + 3) = 0
  • x = 2, x = -3

<u>The numbers are:</u>

  • 4 and 6 or - 6 and - 4

Triangle EFG is an isosceles triangle with EG=EF. What is the approximate length of EF, and what is the approximate perimeter of
sineoko [7]

Answer:

B. The approximate length of EF is 4.47 units, and the approximate perimeter of triangle EFG is 12.94 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to determine the length of EF, since that will give us 2 sides of the triangle (since EG = EF).

From the diagram, we can easily make a rectangle triangle by dropping a vertical line from vertex E, let's name Z the meeting point of that line with the segment GF.  Then we have a rectangle triangle EZF with a height of 4 and a base of 2, of which EF is the hypotenuse. So...

EF² = 4² + 2² = 16 + 4 = 20

EF = √20 = 4.47

Now that we have EF, we also have EG:

EF = 4.47

EG = 4.47

GF = 4 (visible on the graph)

Perimeter = 4.47 + 4.47 + 4 = 12.94 units.
