By using definition of proportionality and Pythagorean theorem, the values of x and y associated with the geometrical system formed by two right triangles are 36 / 5 and 104 / 5, respectively.

<h3>How to analyze a geometrical system formed by two proportional right triangles</h3>

Herein we find a picture of a geometrical system formed by two proportional right triangles with two variables: {x, y} These variables can be found by using the definition of proportionality and the Pythagorean theorem:

5 / 8 = 12 / (12 + x) = 13 / y

Then, we proceed to solve the system formed by two equations:

(12 + x) / 12 = 8 / 5

12 + x = 96 / 5

x = 96 / 5 - 12

x = 36 / 5

y / 13 = 8 / 5

y = 104 / 5

By using definition of proportionality and Pythagorean theorem, the values of x and y associated with the geometrical system formed by two right triangles are 36 / 5 and 104 / 5, respectively.

Help plz 15. and 16. math<br>explain and answer is on side already
Darina [25.2K]
15) x^2-2x-8=1/4x-1
x^2-2.25x-7=0
4x^2-9x-28=0
(x-4)(4x+7)=0
x-4= 0 or 4x+7=0
x=4 or x= -7/4=-1.75
16) answer hides in the f(x) equation
the trick is to think of the value that will make the (x-4) =0 and and the y value can be directly plugged off from the +c
therefore, ans is x=2 y= 4
