The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 4 meters more than three times the length of the shorter . The length of the longer leg is less than that of the hypotenuse. Find the length of the shorter leg of the triangle .

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 4m longer than the shorter leg and 2m longer than the longer leg. What are the lengths of the sides?

Just for variety, consider the hypotenuse = h, the short leg h-4 and the long leg h-2.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2; so h^2 = (h-4)^2 + (h-2)^2; h^2 = h^2 - 8h + 16 +h^2 -4h +4;

h^2 -12h +20 = 0 factors to (h - 10)(h - 2) = 0 so h = 2 or h = 10

Since (h - 2) = (2 - 2) = 0 and a triangle cannot have a side of zero length, 10 is the length of the hypotenuse.

h^2 = (h-4)^2 + (h-2); 10^2 = (10-4)^2 + (10-2); (10)^2 = (6)^2 + (8)

The hypotenuse is 10 cm, short leg 6 cm and long leg 8 cm.

Rectangle KLMN has vertices K(-5,6), L(-2,9), M(6, 1), and N(3,-2). Determine and state the coordinates of the point of intersection of the diagonals.

Answers

Answer:

(0.5,3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw the image, as shown. The diagonals in the rectangle are the following lines:

from (-2,9) to (3,-2)

from (-5, 6) to (6,1)

To find where they intersect, we can start by making an equation for the lines. For an equation y=mx+b, m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept, or when x=0

For the first line, from (-2,9) to (3,-2), we can calculate the slope by calculating the change in y/change in x = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁). If (3,-2) is (x₂,y₂) and (-2,9) is (x₁,y₁), our slope is

(-2-9)/(3-(-2)) = -11/5

Therefore, our equation is

y= (-11/5)x + b

To solve for b, we can plug a point in, like (3,-2). Therefore,

-2=(-11/5)*3+b

-2=-33/5+b

-10/5=-33/5+b

add 33/5 to both sides to isolate b

23/5=b

Our equation for one diagonal is therefore y=(-11/5)x+23/5

For the second line, from (-5, 6) to (6,1), if (6,1) is (x₁,y₁) and (-5,6) is (x₂,y₂), the slope is (1-6)/(6-(-5)) = -5/11 . Plugging (6,1) into the equation y=(-5/11)x+b, we have

1=(-5/11)*6+b

11/11 = -30/11 + b

add 30/11 to both sides to isolate b

41/11 = b

our equation is

y = (-5/11) x + 41/11

Our two equations are thus

y = (-5/11) x + 41/11

y=(-11/5)x+23/5

To find where they intersect, we can set them equal to each other

(-11/5)x+23/5 = y = (-5/11) x + 41/11

(-11/5)x + 23/5 = (-5/11)x + 41/11

subtract 23/5 from both sides as well as add 5/11 to both sides to make one side have only x values and their coefficients

(-11/5)x + (5/11)x = 41/11-23/5

11*5 = 55, so 55 is one value we can use to make the denominators equal.

(-11*11/5*11)x+(5*5/11*5)x=(41*5/11*5)-(23*11/5*11)

(-121/55)x+(25/55)x = (205/55) - (253/55)

(-96/55)x = (-48/55)

multiply both sides by 55 to remove the denominators

-96x=-48

divide both sides by -96 to isolate x

x=-48/-96=0.5

plug x=0.5 into a diagonal to see the y value of the intersection

(-11/5)x + 23/5 = y = (-11/5)* 0.5 + 23/5 = 3.5

1) Jeffrey has two bags of marbles. One has a 2 green marbles and 3 red marbles. The second bag has a blue and 2 yellow marble. Darren draws one marble from each bag. What are all the possible outcomes? How large is the sample space?​

Answers

A sample space is the space of all the possible outcomes in this event.

Let's define each outcome as:

(first marble, second marble)

Where the first marble can be green or red.

The second marble can be blue or yellow.

Then the possible outcomes are:

(green, yellow)

(green, blue)

(red, yellow)

(red, blue)

So we have four different outcomes, which means that the sample space has 4 elements.

Notice that the number of marbles of each color does not affect this, these numbers only affect the probability of each one of these possible outcomes.

Add 10 to each side

10x-10+10 =180+10

10x =190

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 190/10

A carpenter is making a backyard deck. In the measurements, he has determined that he needs to make a support triangle with an area 46m2. He knows that the base must be 1 less than 2 times the height. If the base is represented by 2x-1 and height equals x. Find the equation that correctly shows the area of the triangle.

Answers

Answer:

base = 3x - 1

height = x

area of triangle = (1/2)bh

22 = (1/2)(3x-1)(x)

44 = (3x-1)(x)

44 = 3x^2-x

0 = 3x^2-x-44

0 = 3x^2-12x+11x-44

0 = (3x^2-12x)+(11x-44)

0 = 3x(x-4)+11(x-4)

0 = (x-4)(3x+11)

x = {-11/3, 4}

throw out the negative solution (extraneous) leaving

x = 4 m (height)

A rectangular garden has links twice as great as it's with a second rectangular garden has the same link as the first garden and with that is for meters greater than the width of the first garden the second Gordon has area of 120 m² what is the length of the two gardens

Answers

Solution :

For the bigger rectangle

Width of bigger rectangle = W

Length of bigger rectangle, L = 2W

For the smaller rectangle

Width , w = W+4

Length, l = L = 2W

Area, a =120 [tex]m^2[/tex]

Now we know,

Area = length x width

[tex]$a=l \times w$[/tex]

[tex]$120=(2W) \times (W+4)$[/tex]

[tex]$120=2W^2 + 8W$[/tex]

[tex]$2W^2+8W-120=0$[/tex]

[tex]$W^2+4W-60=0$[/tex]

[tex]$(W+10)(W-6) = 0$[/tex]

We get, either [tex]W=-10[/tex]   (rejecting)

                or     [tex]W=6[/tex]

∴ length of the bigger rectangle, [tex]$L=2W $[/tex]

                                                          = 2(6)

                                                           = 12 m

 Length of the smaller rectangle, [tex]$L=2W$[/tex]

                                                            = 2(6)

                                                           = 12 m

Hence, the length of the two gardens is 12 m.
