Answer:
Hiiiiiiiii
The answer is −135−(−278)= 143
Simplify 8/10
(4*2)/(5*2)
2/2=1
Thus,
8/10=4/5
Now, compare 4/5 and 3/5.
Hope this helps!
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))
