Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Theorem 1:</u> The height of right triangle drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of the altitude is the geometric mean of these two segments. Hence,
<u>Theorem 2:</u> In a right triangle, the altitude drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of each leg of the right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to the leg.
Thus,
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
31.5 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = ½*base*height
Height of the triangle on the grid = 9 units
Base = 7 units
Area = ½*9*7
Area = ½*63
Area = 63/2
Area = 31.5 units²
Answer:
114°
Step-by-step explanation:
The exterior angle is the sum of the remote interior angles.
__
<h3>setup</h3>
(11x +15)° = 60° +6x°
<h3>solution</h3>
5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 15+6x
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
The measure of exterior angle KMN is ...
m∠KMN = (11(9) +15)° = 114°
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Both the sum of interior angles and the sum of angles of a linear pair are 180°. If M represents the interior angle at vertex M, then we have ...
60° +6x° +M = 180°
(11x +15)° +M = 180°
Equating these expressions for 180° and subtracting M gives the relation we used above:
(11x +15)° +M = 60° +6x° +M . . . . . equate the two expressions for 180°
(11x +15)° = 60° +6x° . . . . . . . . . . . subtract M
This is also described by "supplements to the same angle are equal."
