The shorter leg of a right triangle is 21 feet less than the other leg. Find the length of the two legs if the hypotenuse is 39 feet.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

leg 1= 36  feet

leg2 = 15  feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the distance between Doreen’s house and the tower) and a and b are the other legs.  

leg1 = x

leg2 = x-21 (21 feet less than the other leg)

Replacing with the values given:  

39^2 = x^2 + (x-21)^2  

1,521 = x^2 + x^2 -42x +441

0 = 2x^2 -42x +441-1,521

0= 2x^2 -42x -1,080

For: ax2+ bx + c  

x =[ -b ± √b²-4ac] /2a  (quadratic formula)

Replacing with the values given:  

x=-(-42)± √(-42)²-4(2)-1080] /2(2)  

x= 42± √10,404] /4

x = 42± 102 /4

Positive:

x = 42+102 /4 = 36

leg 1= 36

leg2 = 36-21 =15

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.  

Answer 2

The length of shorter leg is 15 feet and other leg is 36 feet.

Pythagoras theorem:

Let us consider that, length of shorter leg is x feet.

So that, length of other leg is [tex](x+21)[/tex] feet.

It is given that, the hypotenuse is 39 feet.

Apply Pythagoras theorem,

                 [tex]x^{2} +(x+21)^{2} =(39)^{2}\\ \\x^{2} +x^{2} +441+42x=1521\\\\2x^{2} +42x-1080=0\\\\x=15 ,-36[/tex]

Since, side can not be negative.

So that, we have to consider x=15 feet.

Length of other leg[tex]=x+21=15+21=36feet[/tex]

Answers

6) the number of glasses is 5 times the number of boxes.
7) robert is incorrect as he only needs 24 boxes to pack 120 glasses, because 120/24=5

Answer:

6. The relationship is they multiply the first box of glasses by the amount of boxes 15glasses = x 3,

30 glasses = x6

45 glasses = x 9

60 glasses = x 12

75 glasses = x15

= 30, 45, 60,75

But in between glass amount 45 +60 they show a midpoint amount of glasses in a box where 45 = 9n  then 55 = 11n and stands out as  11 boxes as an offset amount of glasses where 5 are in each box.

7. Robert is incorrect as 25 x 5 = 125 and not 120

as 120 and 125 glasses can be divided to check

125/25  = 5 and could be correct if he wanted spare glasses = 1 spare box.

But when we check 120/25 =  4.8 so this would be too many boxes as he would only need 24 boxes.

24 x 5 = 120 glasses.

Find the value of x that makes line m parallel to line
n.
(4x - 23)
n
{
(2x + 17)

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

If lines m and n are parallel, then the labelled angles would be considered alternate exterior angles. By definition, such angles are of the same value.

Thus, we set the two expressions of 4x - 23 and 2x + 17 equal:

4x - 23 = 2x + 17

Subtract 2x from both sides and add 23 to both sides:

2x = 23 + 17 = 40

Divide by 2:

x = 40/2 = 20

The answer is thus 20.

Answer:

[tex]x=20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate exterior angles are a pair of equal angles on opposite sides of the transversal.

If you had a nickel (.05 or five cents) that earned 100 percent interest each day or doubled in value each day. How much would you have after 10 days?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the initial amount of nickel is doubling in value each day, it means that the amount of nickel is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

n represents the common ratio

a represents the first term of the sequence (initial amount)

n represents number of terms in the sequence (days)

r represents common ratio between consecutive terms(days)

From the information given,

r = 2

n = 10

a = 0.05

Therefore, for 10days, T10

T10 = 0.05 × 2^(10 - 1)

T10 = 0.05 × 2^9

T10 = 25.6

Answer:

Having a nickel doubled for 10 days gives 512 nickels, or 2560 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Having a nickel doubled in value each day for 10 days, we first write the amount of nickels we have in the first few days, inspect what pattern these numbers take, write a general formula for the sequence formed, and use the formula to find the 10th number easily.

For the first five days we have:

Day1: 1

Day2: 1 + 1 = 2

Day 3: 2 + 2 = 4

Day 4: 4 + 4 = 8

Day 5: = 8 + 8 = 16

...

This is a geometric progression, where the first term is 1, and the common ratio is 2.

The nth term is given as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Tn = 1 × 2^(n - 1)

= 2^(n - 1)

That is

Day n = 2^(n - 1)

Day 10 = 2^(10 - 1) = 2^9 = 512 nickels.

But because 1 nickels = 5 cents

512 nickels = 5 × 512 = 2560 cents.
