Answer:
a would be 2/9 and b would b 1/4 and c would be 0.17
Step-by-step explanation:
When a perpendicular is dropped from the right-angle (C) to the opposite side AB, the metric relations apply:
BD*BA=a^2 ..........................(1)
AD*AB=b^2...........................(2)
BD*DA=DC^2........................(3)
Given AD=6, AB=24, using metric relation (2) above, we have
b^2=6*24=144
=>
b=sqrt(144)=12
By the way, we conclude that this is a 30-60-90 triangle because b/AB=(1/2)=sin(B) => B=30 degrees.
Answer: b=12

Ok, for multiplication of fractions you do not need a common denominator so multiply top by top and bottom by bottom... let me know what you get
Answer:
- 11 or - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Factorise
x² - 13x + 42
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 42) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 13)
The factors are - 6 and - 7, since
- 6 × - 7 = + 42 and - 6 - 7 = - 13, thus
x² - 13x + 42 = (x - 6)(x - 7)
compare to (x + A)(x + B)
A = - 6, B = - 7
thus 3A - B = 3(- 6) - (- 7) = - 18 + 7 = - 11
The factors may also be expressed as (x - 7)(x - 6)
with A = - 7 and B = - 6, then
3A - B = 3(- 7) - (- 6) = - 21 + 6 = - 15
