How do I solve for h

Mathematics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
8 0
All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of (long leg)/(short leg) is the same. The long leg of ΔADB is
.. AD = AC -DC = 20 -4
.. AD = 16

Then
.. (long leg)/(short leg) = AD/DB = BD/DC
.. 16/h = h/4
.. h^2 = 64
.. h = 8

Selection D is appropriate.

_____
You may see this again. The altitude (h) from the right angle in a right triangle is the geometric mean of segments AD and DC. That is,
.. h = √((AD)*(DC))

If 4=2^2

8=2^3

(2^)2x+10=(2^)6x

(2^)6x-(2^)2x=10

(2^)2x×7=10, where x has no real value

∠C and ​ ∠D ​ are vertical angles with m∠C=−3x+58 and m∠D=x−2 .<br><br><br><br> What is m∠D ?
11111nata11111 [884]
Vertical angles are equal

-3x + 58 = x - 2
-3x - x = -2 - 58
-4x = - 60
x = -60/-4
x = 15

m < D = x - 2....15 - 2 = 13 <====
m < C = -3x + 58....-3(15) + 58 = 13

Write the raito as a fraction simplest from 12 boys and 15 girls​
kiruha [24]

Step-by-step explanation: We can write a ratio using the word "to", using a colon, or using a fraction bar.

Here, since we want our ratio in simplest form,

I would use a fraction bar.

Now, the problem asks us to compare

the number of boys to the number of girls.

We know that there are 12 boys

and we know that there are 15 girls.

So our ratio is 12/15.

However, this can be reduced to 4/5.
