Answer:

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle forms two triangles that are similar to each other and to the original triangle

The Leg Rule (or Leg geometric mean theorem) relates the length of each leg of a right triangle with the segments projected by them on the hypotenuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the segments into which it divides the hypotenuse. Notice the triangle used with this rule. The leg of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the projection of the leg on the hypotenuse.

Crayola makes 3 red crayons for every 2 brown crayons. On Tuesday, their factory made 1,000 more red crayons than brown. How man

miskamm [114]

Answer:

They make <u>2000</u> brown crayons on that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Crayola makes 3 red crayons for every 2 brown crayons.

On Tuesday, their factory made 1,000 more red crayons than brown.

Now, to find the number of brown crayons they make that day.

Let the numbers of brown crayons be $x.$

So, the number of red crayons = $1000+x.$

As given, 3 red crayons for every 2 brown crayons.

So, the ratio is 3:2.

Thus, 3 is equivalent to 2.

So, 1000+ $x$ is equivalent to $x.$

Now, to get the number of brown crayons by using cross multiplication method:

$\frac{3}{2} =\frac{1000+x}{x}$

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

$3x=2000+2x$

<em>Subtracting both sides by 2</em> $x$ <em> we get:</em>

$x=2000.$

Therefore, they make 2000 brown crayons on that day.
