@ganeshie8 Can you help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im really confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jigglypuff314 Hiii can you help please ? :)

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

mmm? would pythagorean theorem work? (4x)^2 + (3x)^2 = 43^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im not sure ive never done this before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it work ?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay :) So What do I do from here

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

(4x)^2 + (3x)^2 = 43^2 solve for x 16x^2 + 9x^2 = 1849 25x^2 = 1849 x^2 = 73.96 square root both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

43/5 , -43/5 ?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

and it can't be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

43/5=8.6

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes :) so x = 8.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats the answer for part 1

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes then part B = 4x + 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60.2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

part b =60.2 parrt c = 17.2

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAYY Thank you so much !!! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One last thing , do you always use Pythagorean theorem for this ?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

if it's a right triangle :) until you go into trigonometry...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks :) I'm in algebra ll right now . I didnt take trig I think they mix it in with the geometry course

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

trig is after algebra2...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its not a course in my school . After algebra 2 is analysis of functions or pre cal . The Calculus ab then calculus bc

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

oh I meant precalc precalc is trig in disguise
