Answer:
PR5T represents <em>6754.</em>
P = 6
R = 7
T = 4
Y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us try to understand the subtraction starting from the unit's digit.
P R 5 T
- 4 7 Y 6
-----------------
1 9 9 8
To get 8, 6 should be subtracted from 14
14 - 6 = 8
So, T should be equal unit digit of 14 <em>i.e.</em> T = 4 and 1 should be carried over from the ten's digit of PR5T.
Now, let us move to ten's digit:
P R 5 4
- 4 7 Y 6
-----------------
1 9 9 8
To get 9, 6 should be subtracted from 15. But 1 is already carried to unit's place So, we have actually 14 here
14 - Y = 9
So, Y = 5
Moving to hundred's place:
R - carry - 7 = 9
Carry is 1, so R = unit's place of 9 + 8 i.e. R = 7
Moving to thousand's place:
P - carry - 4 = 1
Here carry is 1
So, P = 1 + 4 + 1 = 6
So, the number PR5T is <em>6754.</em>
Isn’t there supposed to be a picture?
Answer:
SteLet a = short leg of the right triangle, b = the longer leg, and c = the hypotenuse.
The longer leg of a right triangle is 4inches longer than the shorter leg: b = a + 4
The hypotenuse is 8inches longer than the shorter leg: c = a + 8
Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + (a+4)2 = (a+8)2
a2 + a2 + 8a + 16 = a2 + 16a + 64
a2 - 8a - 48 = 0
Factors to:
(a-12)(a+4) = 0
a = 12, -4
Since we can't have a side of -4, a = 12
Shorter Leg = 12 inches
Longer Leg = 12 + 4 = 16 inches
Hypotenuse = 12 + 8 = 20 inches
