The hypotenuse (side C) of a triangle is 13 inches long. Which of the following pairs of measurements could be the correct for the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle? (Note: A2 + B2= C2)
5 inches, 12 inches
2.5 inches, 6 inches
2.5 inches, 4 inches
5 inches, 8 inches
Correct Answer : A
In this problem, we take the triangle as a right-angled triangle and label it as follows:
From the Pythagoras theorem A2 + B2= C2, we can look for a combination of A and B that when the squares of A and B are summed give a square of 13. Mathematically,
But C=13 inches
If we take A=5 inches and B=12 inches, then
Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=6 inches
Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=4 inches
6.25+16=169
22.25≠169
Taking A=5 inches and B=8 inches
From the above computation, the combination of A=5 inches and B=12 inches give a triangle with a hypothenuse of 13 inches.

Explanation
We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.
Money spent on supplies=s
Money spent on textbooks=t
Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks
Total money spent = s+t
But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,
s+t <$12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.
Therefore, therequired inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

Percentages always add up to 100%. If we let x be the percent of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law, then
74%+3%+2%+x=100%
79%+x=100%
Subtract 79% from both sides of the equation
79%-79%+x=100%
x=100%-79%
x=21%
So, the number of graduates working for jobs unrelated to law is 21%.
