Answer:
5.7
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude divides right triangle ABC into similar right triangles ADB and BDC. The ratios of short leg to long leg will be proportional in these similar triangles, so you have ...
AD/BD = BD/CD
Cross multiplying gives ...
AD·CD = BD²
(x+3)(2x+3) = 5²
2x² +9x = 16 . . . . . perform the multiplication, subtract 9
2(x² +4.5x) = 16
2(x² +4.5x +2.25²) = 16 +2(2.25²) . . . . . add 2(2.25²) to complete the square
2(x +2.25)² = 26.125 . . . . . write as a square
x +2.25 = √13.0625 . . . . . .divide by 2, take the positive square root
x = -2.25 +√13.0625 . . . . subtract 2.25 to find x
We want the value of CD, so ...
CD = 2x +3 = 2(-2.25 +√13.0625) +3
CD = -1.5 +2√13.0625 ≈ 5.7284
The length of CD is about 5.7 units.
Answer:
1 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6+3/4=10/12+9/12 = 19/12 or 1 7/12
Answer:
360°
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the properties of parallel lines, the following deductions can be made:
<a and <c are exterior angles of same side, therefore they are supplementary.
Thus,
m<a + m<c = 180°
<b and <d, are alternate interior angles, therefore, they are supplementary.
Thus, m<b + m<d = 180°.
The total numbers of degrees of a, b, c, d will all sum up to give 360°.
The buyers are telling the seller that $40 per t-shirt is way too much. There are multiple stores I can name that will sell you a t-shirt for five dollars, so it just looks like a bad deal. The buyers are saying that the price needs to go down.
