Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(Tangent Length)^2 = y*(y + 11) You are going to have to use the quadratic formula on this.
Tangent Length = 7
7^2 = y * (y + 11)
49 = y^2 + 11y
0 = y^2 + 11y - 49
a = 1
b = 11
c = - 49
When you solve this quadratic equation you get
x1 = 3.40 which is the answer you go with.
x2 = -14.40 which can't be used. A negative length has no meaning.
Answer:
32 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
6*4+ 1/2*4*4= 32 cm²
Okay so the small triangle has sides that are 3 units, 4 units and 5 units long
the larger triangle has sides that are 6 units, 8 units and 10 units long so using this information we can see that the larger triangle is twice the size of the small triangle.
Hope this helps :)
