Answer:
F. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the long side to the short side is the same in similar triangles. The long side of triangle BAD is AD, which has length 20-4 = 16.
BD/DE = AD/BD
h/4 = 16/h
h^2 = 64 . . . . . . . multiply by 4h
h = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (matches selection F)

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
BD = √(AD·DC) is called the "geometric mean" of the segments AD and DC. This geometry has some other geometric mean relationships as well:
BC = √(AC·DC)
BA = √(AC·AD)
I would say the best estimate would be 9 because the real answer is 8.71 and if you round that to the 1 place the answer would be 9.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 = 2 5/10 = 250%
40% = .40 = 40/100 = 4/10 =2/5
220% = 220/100 = 2 20/100 = 2 2/10 = 2 1/5
1/4 = 25/100 = 25%
4% = 4/100 = .04
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 4x + 3 <= 3x - 5
Subtract 3 from both sides
4x + 3-3 <= 3x - 5 -3
4x <= 3x - 8
Subtract 3x form both sides
4x - 3x <= 3x -3x - 8
x <= -8
