Solving a system of linear equations, we conclude that the measure of side Z is 2√13
<h3>How to find the measure of side Z?</h3>
Remember the Pythagorean theorem. It says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.
In the image, we can identify 3 right triangles, and with the Pythagorean theorem, we can write a system of 3 equations.
x^2 = y^2 + 4^2
z^2 = y^2 + 9^2
(4 + 9)^2 = z^2 + x^2
We want to solve that for z.
Now, the second equation can be rewritten to:
y^2 = z^2 - 9^2
Now let's replace the first equation into the third one, so we get:
(4 + 9)^2 = z^2 + (y^2 + 4^2)
Now we can replace y^2 by z^2 - 9^2
(4 + 9)^2 = z^2 + ((z^2 - 9^2) + 4^2)
Now we can solve this:
(13)^2 = z^2 + z^2 - 9^2 + 4^2
(13)^2 + 9^2 - 4^2 = 2*z^2
104/2 = z^2
52 = z^2
√52 = z
√(4*13) = z
√4*√13 = z
2√13 = z
We conclude that the measure of side Z is 2√13

Answer:
a(n) = 20*2.5^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that 50 is 2.5 times 20, and that 125 is 2.5 times 50. Thus the common factor is 2.5. The formula for the nth term is
a(n) = a(1)*r^(n - 1) => a(n) = 20*2.5^(n - 1)
7/x = 84 / (156 -x)
84x = 7(156 -x)
84x = 1092 - 7x
91x = 1092
x = 12
AC = 156 - 12 = 144
answer
D. 144
