PLEASE HELP Find the value of x. X 15 12

Mathematics
1 answer:
zlopas [31]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: x = 9

Step-by-Step Solution:

Hypotenuse = 15 units

Base = 12 units

Altitude = x units

Using Pythagoras Theorem,

=> Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Altitude^2

(15)^2 = (12)^2 + x^2

225 = 144 + x^2

225 - 144 = x^2

81 = x^2

x^2 = 81

x = √81

=> x = 9

Therefore, Altitude = 9 units

I need to figure out if I'm doing this correctly
kogti [31]

To prove that triangles TRS and SUT are congruent we can follow these statements:

1.- SR is perpendicular to RT: Given

2.-TU is perpendicular to US: Given

3.-Angle STR is congruent with angle TSU: Given.

4.-Reflexive property over ST: ST is congruent with itself (ST = ST)

From here, we can see that both triangles TRS and SUT have one angle of 90 degrees, another angle that they both have, and also they share one side (ST) ,then:

5.- By the ASA postulate (angle side angle), triangles TRS and SUT are congruent

Could someone help me?<br><br> Why does x^4 * x^-4 = 1?
Alika [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have a negative exponent, you are going to have a fraction. Example: 2^4 * 2^-4= 2^4 is 16 2^-4 is 1/16.

You get the 16 but because it was a negative exponent, the 16 goes on the bottom. 16 as a fraction is 16/1.

When you multiply 16/1 and 1/16. It comes up to 16/16 or 1.

Does this help?

Clara has a lawn in front of her house as mapped on the coordinate plane. She wants to plant a bed of flowers between the points
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Look Below In the Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Point P has coordinates of (4,4) and point Q has coordinates of (4,-4).

Since both points have the same x-coordinates we can subtract point Q's y-coordinate from point P's y-coordinate.

I will set the equation up and try and figure this part by yourself. I hope you learned what to do from previous questions that are very similar to this that I answered.

4 - ( -4) = length of the bed of flowers

Hope that helps and maybe earns a brainliest!

Have a splendid day! :^)
