Answer: 2²+5²=c²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean theorem, that can be written as:

a²+b²=c², where c represents the length of the hypotenuse and a and b the lengths of the triangle's other two sides.

In this case, a=2, b=5 and c=c, so according to the Pythagorean theorem:

2²+5²=c²

The pythagorean theorem is $leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$ . And since 2 and 5 are legs while c variable is the hypotenuse, the equation would be $2^2+5^2=c^2$ , or the first option.

It would be: k+3 = 10

subtracting 3 from both sides,

k+3-3 = 10-3

k=7

If the product of two consecutive integers is decreased by 20 times the greater integer, the result is 442. find the integers

Contact [7]

Let the first integer be x. Then the next consecutive integer is x+1.

Translating the word problem into symbols, x(x+1)-20(x+1) = 442.

Then x^2 + x - 20x - 20 = 442

or x^2 - 19x - 462 = 0

Solve by completing the square:

x^2 - 19x + 90.25 - 90.25 - 462 = 0

(x-9.5)^2 - 552.25 = 0

Taking the positive square root of both sides, we get x-9.5 = 23.5, or
x = 33

The two consecutive integers are 33 and 34.

Check: (33)(34)-20(34) = 442 (as expected).
