Well this seems easy enough well if the tree was cut 8 feet abouve the base and the tip is 10 feet away from the base wouldn't that make the part of the tree that was cut 10 feet away since it's 10 feet from the base which is 0 on a plane grid?

Answer:

EF = 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of EF

To do this, we use the principle of similar triangles

The similar triangles we are considering here will be ;

FEA and FBD

when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Let us calculate DC first

we can use Pythagoras’ theorem here and it is that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the two other sides

Using the triangle EDC

15^2 = 12^2 + DC^2

DC^2 = 225-144

DC^2 = 81

DC = 9

So the entire length of BD is 9 + 12 = 21 cm

Thus, we have it that;

Let EF be x

so DF = 15 + x

Hence;

BD/DF = AE/EF

21/15+x = 12/x

21x = 12(15 + x)

21x = 180 + 12x

21x-12x = 180

9x = 180

x = 180/9

x = 20 cm

EF = 20 cm

Can you have a right triangle where the lengths of the legs are whole numbers and the length of the hypotenuse is 23? Explain.

No you can't because a right angle is 90
