Answer:

length of qt = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that qrs is a right angle triangle,

where qr = 20

          sr = ?

          qs = 25

          qt = ?

<h3>1)</h3><h3>Find sr</h3>

hypotenuse² = base² + height²

sq² = sr² + rq²

25² - 20² = sr²

sr = √25² - 20²

sr = 15

2)

When altitude rt is drawn to hypotenuse qs, it divides the triangle qrs into

two right angle triangle, rtq and rts.

Δrtq

height = rt

base= tq = 25 - x

hypotenuse = qt = 20

Δrts

height = rt

base= ts = x

hypotenuse = sr = 15

These both triangle shares same altitude that is rt

So, by using pythagorus theorem

      Δ rtq                                               Δ rts

hypotenuse² - base² = height² = hypotenuse² - base²

20² - (25 - x)² = 15² - x²

400 - (625 + x² - 50x) = 225 - x²

400 - 625 - x² + 50x = 225 - x²

-225 - x² + 50x - 225 + x² = 0

-450 + 50 x = 0

50x = 450

x = 450/50

x = 9

base of Δ rtq = tq = 25 - x

                         tq = 25 - 9

                         tq = 16

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The length of qt is </u><u>15</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

According to Pythagorean Theorem

c² = a²  + b²

c² -  a² = b²  

25² -  20² = b²  

625 - 400 = b²  

225 = b²  

Taking square root on both sides

b = 15

A florist has to choose four different types of flowers to include in a bouquet. In how many ways can the florist do this, if th
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Type of Flowers = 5

To choose = 4

Required

Number of ways 4 can be chosen

The first flower can be chosen in 5 ways

The second flower can be chosen in 4 ways

The third flower can be chosen in 3 ways

The fourth flower can be chosen in 2 ways

Total Number of Selection = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2

Total Number of Selection = 120 ways;

Alternatively, this can be solved using concept of Permutation;

Given that 4 flowers to be chosen from 5,

then n = 5 and r = 4

Such that

nPr = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!}

Substitute 5 for n and 4 for r

5P4 = \frac{5!}{(5 - 4)!}

5P4 = \frac{5!}{1!}

5P4 = \frac{5*4*3*2*1}{1}

5P4 = \frac{120}{1}

5P4 = 120

Hence, the number of ways the florist can chose 4 flowers from 5 is 120 ways

Answer:

Each base angle is 81°

Step-by-step explanation:

A pennant is in the shape of an isosceles triangle and the vertex angle is 18°.

An iscosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles.

So assuming the base angles measure b° each;

b° + b° + 18° = 180° (angles in a triangle add up to 180°)

2b° = 180° - 18° = 162°

b = 162° ÷ 2 = 81°

So each base angle is 81°
