A right triangle has a perimeter of 24 cm and a hypotenuse of 10 cm. Find the length of the other two sides.

One of the sides is 6 cm and the other is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the unknown sides a and b. From the perimeter information (24 cm) we have:

a + b + hypotenuse = 24

a + b + 10 = 24

a + b = 14

b = 14 - a

So now we can right the Pythagorean theorem as follows:

and from this expression in factor form to be zero a must be 6 or a must be 8.

Therefore the solutions are a = 6 (and therefore b = 14 - 6 = 8)

or a = 8 (and therefore b = 14 - 8 = 6)

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

you already gave the answer
