Use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c - a hypotenuse

a, b - legs

We have: a = 9 and c = 12. Substitute:

9^2+b^2=12^2

81+b^2=144               <em>subtract 81 from both sides</em>

b^2=63\to b=\sqrt{63}\\\\b=\sqrt{9\cdot7}\\\\b=\sqrt9\cdot\sqrt7\\\\ \boxed{b=3\sqrt{7}}

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b and c, such that

a^2+b^2=c^2.

b=3\sqrt{7} is not positive integer.

<h3>The sides of the triangle do not form a pythagorean triple.</h3>

Help me please! Ray BD is the angle bisector.What is the value of x?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts.  This means that you can set the two parts equal to each other and solve for x.

8x + 35 = 11x + 23

(8x + 35) - 35 = (11x + 23) - 35

8x = 11x - 12

8x - 11 x = (11x - 12) - 11x

-3x = -12

(-3x)/-3 = -12/-3

x = 4
