Algebra.Com's Answer #130390 by nerdybill(7384) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Leg A: 2x \n" ); document.write( "Leg b: x \n" ); document.write( "Hypotenuse c: 32 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Applying Pythagorean theorem: \n" ); document.write( "(2x)^2 + x^2 = 32^2 \n" ); document.write( "4x^2 + x^2 = 32^2 \n" ); document.write( "5x^2 = 32^2 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 32^2/5 \n" ); document.write( "x = sqrt(32^2/5) \n" ); document.write( "x = 32sqrt(1/5) (exact solution) \n" ); document.write( "OR, approximately: \n" ); document.write( "x = 14.311\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
