Question

c squared = a squared + b squared with c=32 with the other sides length 4:3 what is length of the two sides

Answer 1

simultaneous equations
so \[\large c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \]
and \[\large a = \frac 43 b \]

Answer 2

\[\large 32^2 = a^2 + b^2 \]
sub eqn 2 into eqn 1
\[\large 32^2 = (\frac43 b)^2 + b^2 \]
can u solve from here? @firetiger ?

Answer 3

I would let \(a\) as \(3x\) and \(b\) as \(4x\) since it's much easier to comprehend :)

Answer 4

agreed @kc_kennylau
@firetiger use ken's diagram, it's probably easier

Answer 5

ok square root(32)=(4x)squared +(3x) squared is the correct equation?

Answer 6

\[\large 32^2 = 3x + 4x\]

Answer 7

\[32^2=(4x)^2+(3x)^2\]

Answer 8

oh yeah forgot bout the squared part

Answer 9

Sorry I got to go see you guys later
(others will help him)

Answer 10

Ok the background a tv measures 32" across the screen the width is 4x with the height is 3x. x=?

Answer 11

1024 = 16x^2 + 9x^2
solve for x.

Answer 12

did u get an answer for x @firetiger ?
