The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent. By what percent is the number b smaller than the number a?

1 answer:

8 0

50%, because to exceed is to be larger than, so if A is larger than B by 50%, then that means that B is 50% smaller than A.

In the right triangle below, an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse. Solve for x.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

x = 3√7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the right triangle given in the picture,

Altitude or height of the triangle (AD) = x

Base or hypotenuse of the given triangle (BC) = 16

Length of segment BD = 16 - 7 = 9

By using geometric mean theorem in the given triangle,

$\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{DC}{AD}$

(AD)² = (BD)(CD)

x² = 9×7

x = √63

x = 3√7
