Answers:  

hypotenuse = 20 feet

longer leg = 16 feet

======================================================

Explanation:

c = x = length of the hypotenuse

a = x-4 = length of one of the legs

b = 12 = length of the other leg

Use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + (x-4)^2 = (x)^2

144 + x^2 - 8x + 16 = x^2

144 - 8x + 16 = 0 .... the x^2 terms cancel

160-8x = 0

160 = 8x

8x = 160

x = 160/8

x = 20 is the hypotenuse

x-4 = 20-4 = 16 is the longer leg

--------

Check:

12^2+16^2 = 144+256 = 400

20^2 = 400

Since 12^2+16^2 = 20^2 is true, this means we have a right triangle with legs of 12 and 16, while the hypotenuse is 20. The answer is confirmed.

The grandma of a 6-year-old is asking them 2x3 what is 2x3
Anton [14]

Answer:

The answer of 2 x 3 would be 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why 2 x 3 or 2 times 3 would be six/6. Is because if you had 2 pairs of 3 items, you would get a total of 6 items. And if you had 3 pairs of 2 items, you would still have a total of 6 items.

2x - 5= 5x + 7 linear equations
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

-4 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5= 5x + 7

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x - 5= 5x-2x + 7

-5 = 3x+7

Subtract 7 from each side

-5-7 = 3x+7-7

-12 = 3x

Divide by 3

-12/3 = 3x/3

-4 =x
