All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of (long leg)/(short leg) is the same. The long leg of ΔADB is
.. AD = AC -DC = 20 -4
.. AD = 16
Then
.. (long leg)/(short leg) = AD/DB = BD/DC
.. 16/h = h/4
.. h^2 = 64
.. h = 8
Selection D is appropriate.
_____
You may see this again. The altitude (h) from the right angle in a right triangle is the geometric mean of segments AD and DC. That is,
.. h = √((AD)*(DC))
Answer:
B :step 2 she didnt collect all the like terms and calculate
Step-by-step explanation:
first rewrite remove all ( )Parentheses
2nd collect all like terms and calculate
a^4 + 7a -16 -12^a^3 + 5a -3
a^4 + 12a - 19 - 12a^3 ( Like terms are 7a +5a and -16 +-3)
so she skipped the second step
My "work" is to enter the equations into a graphing calculator and let it show me the answers--just as your "work" is to copy the question to Brainly.
The solutions are
(x, y) = (-0.5, 7.5)
(x, y) = (3, 25)
_____
When you equate the expressions for y, you get the quadratic
2x² -5x -3 = 0
(2x +1)(x -3) = 0
x = -1/2 or 3
y = 5(x +2) = 15/2 or 25
You FOIL the binomials out to get a quadratic.
Depending on the answer of the problem if it’s negat the sign is so on and so fourth
