The length of side BD, given that AD = 5 and CD = 20 is 10 (Option A)

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Length of side AD = 5
  • Length of side CD = 20
  • Length of side BD =?

<h3>How to determine the length of side BD</h3>

Since the triangles are similar, we can obtain the length of side BD as illustrated below:

CD / BD = BD / AD

20 / BD = BD / 5

Cross multiply

BD × BD = 20 × 5

BD² = 100

Take the square root of both sides

BD = √100

BD = 10

Thus, the length of side BD is 10

X-5y-z=-20<br><br>-2x-y-6z=25<br><br>-x-4y-z=-15<br>Solve by elimination
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

x = 0

y = 5

z = -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

X-5y-z=-20

-2x-y-6z=25

-x-4y-z=-15

Add equation 1 and 3:

-9y - 2z = -35 .......... A

Multiply the first equation by 2:

2x - 10y - 2z = -40

Now add this to equation 2:

-11y -8z = -15.............B

Now multiply equation A by -4:

36y + 8x = 140.........C

Add equations B and C:

25y = 125

y = 5.

Substitute for y in equation A:

-9*5 - 2z = -35

2z = -45 + 35 = - 10

z = -5.

Now find x by substituting for y and z in the first equation:

x - 5(5) - (-5) = -20

x - 20 = -20

x = 0.
