So since, they are the same distance from zero, they should be the oppposite of each other so in other words, k=-h and h=-k
so k+h=(subisute)k-k=-h+h=0 because they cancel
Three is also 44 and two and four are 136
Compensation for the year:$51,810(deducting vehicle expense)
An employee makes 48,700+1,530(health insurance)+2,810(paid time)=
53,040. Also they receive 0.53 per mile x 9,000 miles=4,770
53,040 +4,770=57,810(employment compensation)
Personal work vehicle expense: 500 x 12 months=6,000
57,810 - 6,000= 51,810
<u>Given</u>:
The given triangle is a similar triangle.
The length of the hypotenuse is 18 units.
The length of the leg is a.
The length of the part of the hypotenuse is 16 units.
We need to determine the proportion used to find the value of a.
<u>Proportion to find the value of a:</u>
We shall find the proportion to determine the value of a using the geometric mean leg rule.
Applying the leg rule, we have;

Substituting the values of hypotenuse, leg and part, we get;

Thus, the proportion used to find the value of a is 
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
