1. If \(5^x=100\), what is the value of \(5^{x+2}\)?

 

2. A right triangle with integer leg lengths is called "cool'' if the number of square units in its area is equal to twice the number of units in the sum of the lengths of its legs. What is the sum of all the different possible areas of cool right triangles?

1. No need to find the value of x. Using the laws of indices:

 

\(5^{x+2}=5^x\times5^2\rightarrow 5^x\times25\rightarrow100\times25\rightarrow2500\)

1. If \(5^x=100\) , what is the value of \(5^{x+2}\)?

 

\(5^x= 100\\ x\cdot ln5 = ln100\\ x= \color{blue}\frac{ln100}{ln5}\)

 

\(5^{x+2}=5^{\frac{ln100}{ln5}+2} \)

\(5^{x+2}=2500\)

Thanks! Can you solve problem 2/

2. Pythagorean triples are the right angled triangles with integer leg lengths:

 

Oops! I missed one (probably the most obvious one!!).   

n = 4, m = 5     4(5 - 4) = 4           2mn = 40     m2-n2 =  9     m2+n2 = 41   Area = 180

 

Hence sum of all possible areas:  216 + 180 = 396
