Myra was given the following problem.
The Owens family has saved up $50,000 for a down payment on a house. They are
oing to use this money as the 10% down payment their lender is requiring them to
make to purchase the house. What is the price of the house that the Owens family!
is buying?
When Myra solved this problem, she decided to take 10% of $50,000, and she got an
answer of $5,000. She knows that this number is too low to be the price of a house.
Explain to Myra in your own words how to solve the problem correctly. You may
set up the equation any way you'd like to in your explanation, but you must include
a variable x that represents the total price of the house in your equation.

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).
