q=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
- Since m∠ACM = 90°, then by angle addition, m∠ACP + m∠PCM = 90°.
- Since CP⊥ AM, then by definition of perpendicular, m∠APC = 90°. Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, that means m∠PAC + m∠ACP = 90°.
- By substitution, m∠PCM = m∠PAC.
- Since m∠PCM + m∠CMP = 90°, then by substitution, m∠CMP = m∠PAC.
- Therefore, by AAA, △ACP and △CMP are similar.
Having proven that the triangles are similar, we can write the proportion:
AP / CP = CP / MP
9 / CP = CP / 16
CP² = 144
CP = 12
Now, we can simply use Pythagorean theorem to find the other sides.
AC² = AP² + CP²
AC² = 9² + 12²
AC = 15
CM² = CP² + PM²
CM² = 12² + 16²
CM = 20
Answer:
Y = [-6 6 6 -6]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given matrices
If X - 2Y = Z
b - 2c = a ... 1
a -2d = c ...2
4+2a = 16.... 3
a + 2b = b .... 4
From3 ;
2a = 16-4
2a = 12
a = 6
From 4;
a + 2b - b = 0
a+b = 0
a = -b
6 = -b
b = -6
From1;
b - 2c = a
-6 - 2c = 6
-2c = 12
c = -6
also
a - 2d = c
6-2d = -6
-2d = -6-6
-2d = -12
d = 6
Hence the matrices Y = [-6 6 6 -6]
