Answer:
a) 5.83 cm
b) 34.45°
Step-by-step explanation:
a) From Pythagoras theorem of right triangles, given right triangle ABC:
AB² + BC² = AC²
Therefore:
AC² = 5² + 3²
AC² = 25 + 9 = 34
AC = √34
AC = 5.83 cm
b) From triangle ACD, AC = 5.83 cm, AD = 4 cm and ∠A = 90°.
From Pythagoras theorem of right triangles, given right triangle ACD:
AD² + AC² = DC²
Therefore:
DC² = 5.83² + 4²
DC² = 34 + 16 = 50
DC = √50
DC = 7.07 cm
Let ∠ACD be x. Therefore using sine rule:

Answer:
Michael: 24
Junior: 8
Step-by-step explanation:
8 is a multiple of 24, meaning if you ate 1/3 of 24 you get 16, which is doubled 8.

Answer:
- side lengths are not proportional
- 6, 8, 10
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The triangles are not similar because the ratios of side lengths are not the same:
3 : 4 : 5 ≠ 6 : 7 : 8
__
2. We can make the ratios be the same by multiplying the side lengths by a common value, such as 2:
3 : 4 : 5 = 6 : 8 : 10
If triangle B had side lengths of 6, 8, 10, then it would be similar to triangle A.
