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))

The measures of the angles of a quadrilateral are in the
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a square for just a second. It has 4 angles each of 90 degrees. The total number of degrees in a square is 4 * 90 = 360.

It should be at least an appeal to your intuition to say that a quadrilateral has a total of 360 degrees.

Therefore the ratio you have been given must have 4 angles that add to 360.

2x + 3x + 6x + 7x = 360

18x =360

x = 20

So the 4 angles are

2* 20 = 40

3*20 =  60

6*20 = 120

7*20 = 140

Total    360

The largest angle is 140
