Answer:
21 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.
The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...
AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant
Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...
AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25
AD = 4
Then the segment DC is ...
DC = AC -AD = 25 -4
DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters
Alright then!
First off, is your picture REALLY necessary? Whatever haha
A mixed number is just a simplified fraction really.
16/3 = 5 1/3
Hope it helps!
Can you give me brainliest as well please? Thanks ~Samuel
The park is a total of 3+3 = 6 miles east of the mall, and 4+5=9 miles north of it. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the straight-line distance in miles is
√(6² +9²) = √117 ≈ 10.8
Answer:
e= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) distribute so you get 6+0.75e=2-1.25e
2) move the variable to one side so you get 6+2e=2
3) subtract the 6: 2e=-4
4) divide by 2: e= -2
