A=-2 for both sides. So when applied, you’ll get -23=-23
Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
Answer:
21:27 and 14:18
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by using common factors
one of the common factors of 54 and 42 is 3
42/3=14
54/3=18
so one of the ratios is 14:18
another common factor is 2
42/2=21
54/2=27
so another ratio is 21:27
Answer:
Area = 27 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
let L be the length of the rectangle
w the width
P the perimeter
A the area
<u>Formulas</u> :
P = 2×(L + w)
A = L × w
<u>We are Given</u> :
L = 3w
P = 2×(L + w)
⇔ 24 = 2×(3w + w)
⇔ 24 = 2×4w
⇔ 24 = 8w
⇔ w = 24/8 = 3
Then
L = 3w = 3×3 = 9
We obtain L = 9 and w = 3.
Then
A = L × w
= 9 × 3
= 27
25 bags have zips on them
