we know that
In a right triangle we have
two legs and one hypotenuse
Let
a,b -----> the legs of the right triangle
c-----> the hypotenuse of the right triangle (the greater side)
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
The length of the hypotenuse squared is the length of one leg squared plus the length of another leg squared
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest thing to do here is:
4x + 2 = -2 and 4x + 2 = 26
Just know whaever you get for x is greater or less than the actual answer.
4x + 2 = -2
- 2 - 2
4x = -4
x = -1 <--- Because -2 is supposed to be greater than x, x equals any number less than -1 but not -1.
4x + 2 = 26
- 2 - 2
4x = 24
x = 6 <--- Because 26 is supposed to be less than x, x equals any numbey greater than 6 but not 6
