Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Using cosine triangle formula, we know that;
c² = a² + b² - 2ac(cos C)
From our diagram;
a = 2x
b = x + 1
c = 7
C = 60°
Thus;
7² = (2x)² + (x + 1)² - 2(2x)(x + 1)cos 60
49 = 4x² + (x² + 2x + 1) - (4x² + 4x)(0.5)
49 = 5x² + 2x + 1 - 2x² - 2x
3x² + 1 - 49 = 0
3x² - 48 = 0
3x² = 48
x² = 48/3
x² = 16
x = √16
x = 4
(9,40,41) is a Pythagorean Triple, farther down the list than teachers usually venture.
Answer: D. 41 cm
There's a subset of Pythagorean Triples where the long leg is one less than the hypotenuse,
a^2+b^2 = (b+1)^2
a^2 + b^2 = b^2 + 2b +1
a^2=2b+1
So we get one for every odd number, since the square of an odd number is odd and the square of an even number is even.
b = (a^2 - 1)/2
a=3, b=(3^2-1)/2=4, c=b+1=5
a=5, b=(5^2-1)/2 =12, c = 13
a=7, b=24, c=25
a=9, b=40, c=41
a=11, b=60, c=61
a=13, b=84, c=85
It's good to be able to recognize Pythagorean Triples when we see them.
Otherwise we'd have to work the calculator:
√(9² + 40²) = √1681 = 41
10 1/2-4 1/4= 6 1/4. 6 1/4-3 2/3= 2 7/12. They used 2 7/12 ft or 2ft 7in of wood to fix the stairs.
