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

Use Euclid's division algorithm to find the HCF of 441, 567, 693
Illusion [34]
Let a = 693, b = 567 and c = 441

Now first we will find HCF of 693 and 567 by using Euclid’s division algorithm as under

693 = 567 x 1 + 126
567 = 126 x 4 + 63
126 = 63 x 2 + 0
Hence, HCF of 693 and 567 is 63

Now we will find HCF of third number i.e., 441 with 63 So by Euclid’s division alogorithm for 441 and 63

441 = 63 x 7+0
=> HCF of 441 and 63 is 63.

Hence, HCF of 441, 567 and 693 is 63.

Pls solve for x hurry !
wariber [46]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 68 = 2x + 103

Subtract 2x from each side

5x + 68 = 103

Subtract 68 from each side

5x = 35

divide 5 from 35 and you get X = 7

How to solve systems of equations
Len [333]
You are given two equations, solve for one variable in one of the equations. Say you solved for x in the second equation. Then, plug in that value of x in the x of the first equation. Solve this (first) equation for y (as it should become apparent) and you'll get a number value. Plug in this numerical value of y into the y of the second equation. Solve for x in the second equation. And there you have it: (x, y)
