-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{-9}{2x^5}\implies \cfrac{-3^2}{2x^5}\implies \cfrac{-3^2}{1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^5}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3^{-2}}\cdot 2^{-1}\cdot x^{-5}

-\cfrac{2^{-1}x^{-5}}{3^{-2}}$

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle if one of its legs is 11 cm long and its perimeter is 132 cm.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

1.)

132 cm - 11 cm = 121 cm

So let the hypotenuse be x and the other leg be (121 - x).

11^2 + (121 - x)^2 = x^2

121 + 121^2 - 121(2)x = 0

x = 1/2 + 121/2 = 61 cm
