The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 2√13 cm . If the smaller side is increased by 2 cm and the larger side is increased
White raven [17]

<em><u>Statement:</u></em>

The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 2√13 cm. If the smaller side is increased by 2 cm and the larger side is increased by 3 cm, the new hypotenuse will be √117 cm.

<em><u>To find out:</u></em>

The length of the larger side of the right angled triangle.

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let us consider x as the smaller side and y as the larger side.

Then, in the right angled triangle,

x² + y² = (2√13)² ...(I) [By Pythagoras Theorem]

Now, if the smaller side is increased by 2 cm, then the smaller side will be (x + 2).

And if the larger side is increased by 3 cm, then the larger side will be (y + 3).

Then, in the new right angled triangle,

(x + 2)² + (y + 3)² = (√117)² [By Pythagoras Theorem]

or, x² + 2 × 2 × x + 2² + y² + 2 × 3 × y + 3² = (√117)²

or, x² + 4x + 4 + y² + 6y + 9 = (√117)²

or, x² + y² + 4x + 6y + 13 = (√117)²

Now, put the value of x² + y² from equation (I),

or, (2√13)² + 4x + 6y + 13 = (√117)²

or, (2 × 2 × √13 × √13) + 4x + 6y + 13 = (√117 × √117)

or, 52 + 4x + 6y + 13 = 117

or, 4x + 6y = 117 - 52 - 13

or, 4x + 6y = 52

or, 4x = 52 - 6y

or, x = \frac {(52 - 6y)}{4} ...(II)

Now, put the value of x of equation (II) in (I),

x² + y² = (2√13)²

or, \frac {(2704-624y +36y²)}{16} + y² = 52

or, \frac {(2704-624y +36y² + 16y²)}{16}= 52

or, 52y²-624y + 2704 = 52 × 16

or, 52y² - 624y + 2704 - 832 = 0

or, 52y² - 624y + 1872 = 0

or, 52(y² - 12y + 36) = 0

or, y²-12y +36 = 0 ÷ 52

or, y²-12y +36 = 0

or, (y)² - 2 × 6 × y + (6)² = 0

or, (y - 6)² = 0

or, y - 6=0

or, y = 6

We have taken y as the length of the larger side of the right angled triangle.

So, the length of the larger side is 6 cm.

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

6 cm

Hope you could understand.

A sum of money was to be shared among three friends,Albert,Micheal,Moses in the ratio 3:5:6.if Micheal receives $45,find the sum
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The sum of the money shared is $1372

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is

Albert:Michael:Moses=3:5:6

The total ratio is 3+5+6=14

Let the sum of money shared be $x.

Then Albert's share = 3/14 x x = 3x/ 14

Michal's Share   = 5x/14

If Michael received $196 more than Albert, then the difference between their share is the $196.

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

x = 41.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the dotted line at the top is parallel to the segment with length x, it follows from the alternate interior angles theorem that the interior angle of the triangle (marked in diagram) is also 27º.

Using SOH-CAH-TOA, we get that tan(27º) = 21/x, so x = 21/tan(27º), which is approximately equal to 41.2.
