Answer:

RT = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

ΔSRQ is right triangle.

m∠R = 90°

An altitude has been constructed from point T to side SQ.

m∠RTQ = 90°

By applying geometric mean theorem in triangle SRQ,

\frac{\text{RT}}{\text{ST}}=\frac{\text{TQ}}{\text{RT}}

\frac{x}{9}=\frac{16}{x}

x² = 16 × 9

x² = 144

x = √144

x = 12

Therefore, length of altitude RT is 12 units.

Can you help? I’m kinda confused...

A mean is an average of a total. If you add all the pets together and divide by the number of people, you get the mean. So 1 +3 + 2 + 4 + 0 = 10

You have 10 pets in total.

There are 5 people.

Mean = 10 pets / 5 people = 2 pets per person. that's the mean or average that everyone has.

Triangle ABC and DEF are right triangles, as shown. Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF. which ratios are equal to sin C?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

First option and Fourth option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this exercise you need to use the following Trigonometric Identity:

sin\alpha=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

In this case you know that:

\alpha =C

Since triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF:

\angle C=\angle F

Let's begin with the triangle ABC.

You can identify that:

opposite=AB\\hypotenuse=AC

Then, substituing values, you get:

sinC=\frac{AB}{AC}

In triangle DEF, you know that:

opposite=DE\\hypotenuse=DF

So, substituing values, you get:

sinF=sinC=\frac{DE}{DF}

Jenna has a piece of paper that is 84 square inches in area. It is 21/2 inches long. What is the length of the piece of paper in
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 84sqaure inch

Width = 2 1/2inch = 5/2inch

Area = l × width

So: 84 = l × 5/2

168 = 5l

l =>168/5

l = 33 3/5
