Find the longer and shorter lengths and hypotenuses

Find The Longer And Shorter Lengths And Hypotenuses

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Short leg: 9 in

Long leg: 40 in

Hypotenuse: 41 in

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves the Pythagorean Theorem, solving a system of equations, and solving a quadratic equation.

The Pythagorean Theorem applies because the question states this is a right triangle.  That is one equation.  

Two more equations come from descriptive relationships between various sides of the triangle.

Solving the system is done here with the Substitution Method, and solving the quadratic equation is done with factoring and the zero product property.  Other methods could be used, but there is a character limit, so we can't dive into every way to solve this.

The Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagorean Theorem: [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex] where "c" is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

"c" must be hypotenuse.

It doesn't matter which of the two legs' lengths is used for "a" & "b".  However, because of other parts of the question, we'll need to know which one is which.

The question refers back multiple times to one specific leg (the short one).  So, when we refer back to that leg in our equations, we need to make sure we're using the same leg each time.

Keeping track of which leg is which

Let's use "a" for the smaller leg, and "b" for the longer leg.

"c", as always, is the hypotenuse.

Setting up the relationships between the sides

Next, the question gives two statements relating the side lengths of the triangle to each other.

For the first statement, "the length of the longer leg of a right triangle" (that's "b") "...is 13 inches more than three times the length of the shorter leg ("a").

Translating the first sentence into math:

"the length of the longer leg of a right triangle"  means  "b""...is..."  means  "=""...13 inches more than..."  means " +13 " (start with what's coming next, and then do the adding)"...three times..."  means " 3* ""... the length of the shorter leg."  means "a".

[tex]b=3a+13[/tex]

Similarly from the second statement, we get:  [tex]c=3a+14[/tex]

Combining this with the Pythagorean Theorem, we have a system of 3 equations, and 3 unknowns.

[tex]b=3a+13[/tex]

[tex]c=3a+14[/tex]

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Solving a system of equations

To solve a system of equations, there are two main methods:  

The substitution methodThe elimination method

Either method can be used, but the substitution method is the most intuitive.

Substitution method

To solve a system with the substitution method, isolate variable in an equation, written in terms of the other variables, and substitute them in to try to get a single equation with a single unknown.

Looking at our system, the first two equations already have "b" and "c" isolated in terms of "a".  If we substitute both of these into the third equation, we'll have a single equation in terms of a, and can attempt to solve it.

[tex]b=3a+13[/tex]

[tex]c=3a+14[/tex]

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Substituting...

[tex]a^2+(3a+13)^2=(3a+14)^2[/tex]

Rewrite the square binomials as a product...

[tex]a^2+(3a+13)(3a+13)=(3a+14)(3a+14)[/tex]

Apply FOIL (a combination of the distributive property, the commutative properties of multiplication, and combining like terms)...

[tex]a^2+(9a^2+39a+39a+169)=(9a^2+42a+42a+196)\\a^2+(9a^2+78a+169)=(9a^2+84a+196)\\[/tex]

Observe that the equation is a degree-2 polynomial (polynomial with highest power of 2; aka quadratic).  Move all terms to one side to get the equation equal to zero in preparation for solving:

[tex]a^2+(9a^2+78a+169)=(9a^2+84a+196)\\a^2+9a^2+78a+169-(9a^2+84a+196)=0\\a^2-6a-27=0\\[/tex]

There are a few ways to solve this, including the quadratic formula.  However, factoring the polynomial and using the zero product property is quite efficient here:

Factoring to solve a Quadratic

Since the leading coefficient is 1, we can use the shortcut and find factors of -27 that add to make -6.

-27 has factor pairs of:

1 and -273 and -99 and -327 and -1

3 and -9 add to make -6, so factoring the polynomial is

[tex]a^2-6a-27=0\\(a+3)(a-9)=0[/tex]

Applying the zero product property...

[tex](a+3)=0[/tex] or [tex](a-9)=0[/tex]

So a=-3 or a=9.  Given that this represents a length in a triangle, we discard the negative solution.  So a=9.

Finding the other two unknowns

To finish up, substitute the "a" back into the two equations for "b" and "c".

[tex]b=3a+13\\b=3(9)+13\\b=27+13\\b=40[/tex]

[tex]c=3a+14\\c=3(9)+14\\c=27+14\\c=41[/tex]

The original problem set up our measurements in inches, so all three values are measured in inches.

Remember which length was which

"a": short leg

"b": longer leg

"c": hypotenuse

Short leg: 9 in

Long leg: 40 in

Hypotenuse: 41 in.

If you bought a stock last year for a price of $103, and it has risen 13.5% since then, how much is the stock worth now, to the nearest cent?

Answers

The stock worth now, to the nearest cent is  $90.75.

How to find the current worth of stock?

The current worth of stock = initial price of stock+increase in the price of stocks

If you bought stock last year for a price of $103, and it has risen 13.5% since then,

Let X be the worth of stock;

103 ×  100 = (13.5% + 100%) × X

10300 = 113.5X

X = 10300/113.5

X = 90.74889868

Question 10: Each tablet in a bottle of 30 costs the pharmacy $4.60. The pharmacy has additional costs including supplies and shipping of $1.40 per pill. If a 12% profit is desired, how much would the pharmacy charge for entire bottle?

Answers

The pharmacy must charge for $201.6 for the entire bottle.

Profit is the financial gain to the seller after selling some commodity

Revenue is the total sale of the seller after selling some commodity

Expenses is the expenditure to the seller before selling the commodity

Profit = Revenue - Expenses

Cost of the tablet = $4.60

Total cost of the bottle=$4.60x30

                                       =$138

Additional cost=$1.40 x 30

                          = $42

Total expenses=$180

Profit %=125

Revenue= $180 x (1+12/100)

              =$180 x (112/100)

               =$201.6

Therefore, The pharmacy must charge for $201.6 for the entire bottle for a profit of 12%
