Aboat’s sail is a right triangle. the length of one side of the sail is 7 feet more than the other side. the hypotenuse is 13 feet. find the lengths of the two sides of the sail.

the other two sides are 5 feet and 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one side be x , that means the other side is x + 7

by Pythagoras theorem:

+ =

expanding , we have:

+ + 14x + 49 = 169

+ 14x + 49 - 169 = 0

 + 14x - 120 = 0

divide through by 2 , we have

+ 7x - 60 = 0

By factorizing , we have

(x - 5)(x+12) = 0

Therefore:

x = 5 or x = -12

Since , the side can not be negative , so

x = 5

That means the other side will be 5+ 7 = 12

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
