Answer:
y = √55
Step-by-step explanation:
All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same for all:
5/y = y/(5+6)
y^2 = 55
y = √55
_____
<em>Comment on the geometry</em>
There are three "geometric mean" relationships that apply to this geometry.
- the altitude BD is the geometric mean of BC and BA (√30)
- the long side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the longer segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (x = √66)
- the short side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the shorter segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (y = √55)
If you were aware of the last of these relationships, you could write down the answer without any "work."
y = √(5(5 +6)) = √55
__
The geometric mean is the n-th root of the product of n numbers. When there are 2 numbers, it is the square root of their product.
Answer:
8 ≤ x
Step-by-step explanation:
6(2 − 6x) ≤ 4 − 35x
Expand bracket;
12 - 36x ≤ 4 − 35x
Add 36x to both sides to get;
12 ≤ 4 + x
Subtract 4 from both sides to get;
8 ≤ x
Answer:
33.912 in
Step-by-step explanation:
find the area of the circle first by: multiplying 1.5squared X 3.14= 7.065
the multiply it by the height (4.8) = 33.912
Answer:
$5.19
Step-by-step explanation:
→ Write the ratio
3 : 15.57
→ Divide both sides by 3
1 : 5.19
