Start with the parentheses first

4.6 -4.4+7.8 then calculate from left to right
= 0.2+7.8 = 8

$24 saved after 3 weeks; $52 saved after 7 weeks. are these ratios equivalent

SIZIF [17.4K]

To figure out this question, I first divided 24 into 3, which gives me an answer of 8. then I divided 52 into 7 , which also is 8 . because the two numbers are the same, I know the ratios are equivalent.

If the suspect is found guilty, then he will go to prison.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

If the suspect goes to prison, then he was found guilty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Means the same thing. If you guilty, you get the jail time. Same thing as before. The only other one it could be is the first one. But you could argue that one.

The shorter leg of a right triangle is 5 inches shorter than the longer leg. The hypotenuse is 5 inches longer than the longer l

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

longer leg: 20 in

shorter leg: 15 in

hypotenuse: 25 in

Formulas:

<u>Pythagorean Theorem</u>

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

c ... hypotenuse

a ... one leg

b ... another leg

Pythagorean theorem is used in right triangles (triangles in which one angle is 90°).

Step-by-step explanation:

longer leg: x

shorter leg: x - 5

hypotenuse: x + 5

To find x (longer leg), let's use Pythagorean theorem.

$c^2 = a^2 + b^2\\(x+5)^2 = x^2 + (x-5)^2\\x^2 + 10x + 25= x^2 + x^2 -10x + 25\\x^2 + 10x = 2x^2 - 10x\\0 = x^2 - 20x$

Now let's factorize to get solutions for x.

$0 = x(x-20)$

First solution:

$x = 0$

Second solution:

$x - 20 = 0\\x = 20$

Since a side of a triangle has to be a positive number, x is equal to 20.

Now let's just substitute x back to get side lengths. From the question the lengths are in inches.

longer leg: x = 20 in

shorter leg: x - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15 in

hypotenuse: x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25 in
