Answer:

4.615 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC and ABD are similar because they have two corresponding congruent triangles that is right angle and ∠A. Triangle ABC and BCD are similar because they have two corresponding congruent triangles that is right angle and ∠C. Therefore Triangle ABC, ABD and BCD are similar. Since they are similar, then their sides are proportional in length.

In triangle ABC, using Pythagoras theorem:

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = 12² + 5²

AC² = 144 + 25 = 169

AC² = 169

AC = √169 = 13 in

Using similar triangle for ΔABC and ΔABD:

\frac{AC}{AB}= \frac{BC}{BD} \\\\\frac{13}{12}=\frac{5}{BD}\\\\BD=\frac{12*5}{13}\\ BD=4.615\ in

Factorise the following using the Difference of Two Squares or Perfect Squares rule: a) (2x-2)^2 - (x+4)^2 b) (3x+4) (3x-4)
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

a)

(2x-2)^2 - (x+4)^2 \\\\=(2x-2-(x+4))(2x-2+x+4)\\\\=(2x-2-x-4)(3x+2)\\\\=\boxed{(x-6)(3x+2)}

b)

(3x+4) (3x-4)\\\\=(3x)^2-4^2\\\\=\boxed{9x^2-16}

Thank you.
