The right triangle is assumed to be inscribed in the rectangle, such that

hypotenuse is the diagonal of the rectangle.

  • The length of the hypotenuse of the triangle is <u>26 cm</u>.

Reasons:

Let <em>x</em> and<em> </em><em>y</em> represent the length of the sides of the rectangle

Whereby the base and height of the right triangle are the same as the

length and width of the rectangle, we have;

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2·x + 2·y = 68

Therefore;

\displaystyle x + y = \frac{68}{2} = 34

x + y = 34

The base of the right triangle = x

The height of the right triangle = y

By Pythagoras's theorem, the length of the hypotenuse side = √(x² + y²)

Therefore; Perimeter of the right triangle = x + y + √(x² + y²) = 60

Which gives;

∴√(x² + y²) = 60 - (x + y) = 60 - 34 = 26

The length of the hypotenuse side, √(x² + y²) = <u>26 cm</u>

2ax-b=cx+d solve for x​
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

x = (d + b) / (2a - c)

Step-by-step explanation:

2ax-b = cx+d

2ax - cx = d + b

x (2a-c) = d + b

x = (d + b) / (2a - c)

BRAINEST IF YOU GET THSI RIGHT
Scorpion4ik [409]
<h3>Solution :</h3>

\sf \dfrac{6x+4}{3} = \dfrac{5x-5}{8}

By cross multiply, we get

\sf : \implies (6x+4) \times 8 = (5x-5) \times 3

\sf : \implies 48x+32 = 15x-15

\sf : \implies 48x+32 - 15x + 15= 0

\sf : \implies 33x + 47 = 0

\sf : \implies 33x = -47

\sf : \implies x = \dfrac{- 47}{33}

Therefore, answer is \sf x = \dfrac{- 47}{33}

15x+5y=30 with y by itself​
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

15 x 1 + 5 x 3 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

If you turn the x into a one then it multiplies 15 by one and then it remains at 15, then you multiply 5 and 3 so that's 15 and then 15 + 15 is 30.
