Triangle S R Q is shown. Angle S R Q is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point R to point T on side S Q to form a right

angle. The length of S T is 9 and the length of T Q is 16. The length of S R is x.

The value of x from the given diagram is 20

<h3>Triangular altitude theorem</h3>

According to theorem, the right triangle altitude theorem is a result in elementary geometry that describes a relation between the altitude on the hypotenuse in a right triangle and the two line segments it creates on the hypotenuse.

Using the theorem above;

RT^2 = 9 * 16

RT^2 = 144

R = 12 units

Determine the value of x using the Pythagoras theorem;

x² =12² + 16²

x² = 144 + 256

x² = 400

Take the square root of both sides

x = √400

x = 20

Hence the value of x from the given diagram is 20

PLZ I NEED HELP BUT PLZ EXPLAIN WHEN YOU ANSWER
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert this statement into a system of two equations

3 * (cost of a liter of milk) + 5 * (cost of a loaf of bread) = $11

4 * (cost of a liter of milk) + 5 * (cost of a loaf of bread) = $10

cost of a liter of milk = x

cost of a loaf of bread = y

3x + 5y = 11

4x + 4y = 10

You can now solve this using either substitution or elimination

I'll use elimination. Let's say I want to get rid of the x first. I need to choose numbers to multiply by the top and bottom equations to eliminat the x's. The easiest way to do this is to multiply them by each other. So we'll multiply the top by 4 and the bottom by 3. We'll need to make sure the signs are opposite as well so I'll make that a negative 3 on the bottom.

4 * (3x + 5y = 11)

-3 * (4x + 4y = 10)

12x + 20y = 44

-12x - 12y = -30

Now add straight down

0x + 8y = 14

8y = 14

y = 14/8 = $1.75

Now we can plug this back in to either equation  to find the x. I'll choose the second equation

4x + 4*(1.75) = 10

4x + 7 = 10

4x = 3

x = 3/4 = $0.75

So, cost of a liter of milk = x = $0.75

and cost of a loaf of bread = y = $1.75

Scorpion4ik [409]
Hello Jsurginer2000otz2ik, <span>it would be reasonable to say that the mixture could contain 6 ounces of blue jelly beans and 4 ounces of red jelly beans because they want a price of $ 3.08 per bag, so $ 0.27*6=1.62 and $ 0.44 * 4 ounces = 1.76. add them and it comes out to  $ 3.38 which is equivalent to 3.08 but if its not the answer your looking for just say so i can correct myself.</span>
