Answer:
c = 42.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs of the triangle are a and b and the hypotenuse is c
Let a be the shorter leg
The hypotenuse is 5 more than the longest leg
c = b+5
The shortest leg is 20
a = 20
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 +b^2 = c^2
Substituting in what we know from above
20 ^2 + b^2 = (b+5)^2
FOIL (b+5)^2 = b^2 +5b+5b +25 = b^2+10b+25
400 + b^2 = b^2+10b+25
Subtract b^2 from both sides
400+b&2-b^2 = b^2 -b^2 +10b+25
400 = 10b+25
Subtract 25 from both sides
400-25 = 10b+25-25
375 = 10b
Divide by 10
375/10 = 10b/10
37.5 = b
But we want to find c
c=b+5
c = 37.5+5
c = 42.5
Answer:
(1,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
if u substitute these numbers u can find out that these numbers make the solution.
hope this helps
(3 1/2+8 2/3)-3 5/6
= 1.898717
(10 1/4 - 5 5/8)-1 3/8
= -5.221721
(2 2/3+ 4 5/6)+3 3/8
= 9.795734
5x + 20 because rise over run 5 over 1 so its 5x and 20 is on the y intercept line
