Answer:
15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude is one leg of the right triangle formed by the altitude, half the base, and the triangle side. The Pythagorean theorem applies, so you have ...
... (17 cm)² = (altitude)² + (16 cm/2)²
... altitude = √(17² -8²) cm = √225 cm
... altitude = 15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
-4/3 = (6 - y)/[4-(-2)]
-4/3 = (6-y)/6
(-4/3)×6 = 6-y
-8 = 6-y
y = 6 + 8
= 14
Answer: 2√2 - 3Explanation:The expession written properly is:

To rationalize that kind of expressions, this is to eliminate the radicals on the denominator you use conjugate rationalization.
That is, you have to multiply both numerator and denominator times the conjugate of the denominator.
The conjugate of √3+√6 is √3 - √6, so let's do it:

To help you with the solution of that expression, I will show each part.
1) Numerator: (√3 - √6) . (√3 - √6) = (√3 - √6)^2 = (√3)^2 - 2√3√6 + (√6)^2 =
= 3 - 2√18 + 6 = 9 - 6√2.
2) Denominator: (√3 + √6).(√3 - √6) = (√3)^2 - (√6)^2 = 3 - 6 = - 3
3) Then the resulting expression is:
9 - 6√2
-----------
-3
Which can be further simplified, dividing by - 3
-3 + 2√2
