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:
-1440
Step-by-step explanation:
24x -60 = -1440
$72 To find out how much the sweater is without 20% off, you need to do this formula:
$60 x 20%
The answer is $12.
So, 20% of $60 is $12.
Now, you need to add 60 and 12 together to get the original sale price.
60 + 12
The answer is 72.
So the original price for the sweater is <span>72 dollars.</span>
-12/6+2
=-12/6+2/1
=-2/1+2/1
=-2+2/1
=0
From looking at that equation you put this is my solution.
