Answer:

Shorter leg = 20 cm.

Longer leg = 21cm.

Hypotenuse = 29 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter leg be x cm long

Then longer leg = x + 1 and hypotenuse = x + 9 cm long

So by Pythagoras:

x^2 + (x + 1)^2 = (x + 9)^2

0 = x^2 + 18x + 81 - x^2 - (x^2 + 2x + 1)

x^2 + 18x + 81 - x^2 - x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0

-x^2 + 16x + 80 = 0

x^2 - 16x - 80 = 0

(x - 20)(x + 4) = 0

So x = 20   (we ignore the negative root).

So longer leg = 20 + 1 and hypotenuse = 20 + 9.

The total amount that Sara spent for her meals during the first week is,
                          $11.52 + $6.48 + $5.99 + $14.00 + $9.50 = $47.49
With an average of $9.498

During the second week, she spent $4 more making her total equal to $51.49. The average is equal to $10.298. The increase in the mean is equal to,
                         increase in mean  = $10.298 - $9.498 = $0.8<span>Comments</span>

A line passes through the point (-4,-5) and had a slope of 5/2. Write an equation in slope-intercept form
daser333 [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

as we have a point and the slope, we can start with the point-slope form and then transform.

the point-slope form is

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

(x1, y1) being a point on the line, a being the slope.

the slope-interceot form is

y = ax + b

a being the slope again, b being the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, we have

y - -5 = 5/2 × (x - -4)

y + 5 = 5/2 × (x + 4) = 5x/2 + 5×4/2 = 5x/2 + 10

y = 5x/2 + 5

or

y = (5/2)x + 5

and this is already the slope-intercept form. all done.
