Answer is 9.5 First find DC by doing the Pythagorean theorem
BC is 3 BD is 5
So 3^2+ DC= 5^2
9+____=25
So DC is 4 cuz 4times 4=16

Now add AD+DC=AC

5+4=9

So BC is 3 the bottom AC is 9
3^2+9^2= 9+81=90 the sq rt of 90 is 9.5

<h2>Answer:</h2>

             AB=3\sqrt{10}

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

In right angled triangle ΔBCD we have:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem we have:

       BD^2=BC^2+CD^2

5^2=3^2+CD^2\\\\25=9+CD^2\\\\CD^2=25-9\\\\CD^2=16\\\\CD=\pm 4

But as a length of a side can't be negative.

Hence, we have:

                CD=4

Also, In right angled triangle ΔBCA using the Pythagorean Theorem we have:

AB^2=AC^2+BC^2\\\\AB^2=(AD+CD)^2+BC^2\\\\AB^2=(5+4)^2+3^2\\\\AB^2=9^2+3^2\\\\AB^2=81+9\\\\AB^2=90\\\\AB=\pm 3\sqrt{10}

( Since, on taking square root on both the side we have negative or positive term but the length of a side can't be negative.

Hence, we took answer as a positive value)

Hence, we have:

              AB=3\sqrt{10}

A triangle has side lengths of 9 in, 13 in, and 20 in. What is the measurement of this triangle’s largest angle?
zvonat [6]
1. Given any triangle ABC with sides BC=a, AC=b and AB=c, the following are true :

      i) the larger the angle, the larger the side in front of it, and the other way around as well. (Sine Law) Let a=20 in, then the largest angle is angle A.

       ii) Given the measures of the sides of a triangle. Then the cosines of any of the angles can be found by the following formula:

       a^{2}=b ^{2}+c ^{2}-2bc(cosA)

2. 

20^{2}=9 ^{2}+13 ^{2}-2*9*13(cosA)&#10;&#10;400=81+169-234(cosA)   150=-234(cosA)&#10;&#10;cosA=150/-234= -0.641

3. m(A) = Arccos(-0.641)≈130°, 

4. Remark: We calculate Arccos with a scientific calculator or computer software unless it is one of the well known values, ex Arccos(0.5)=60°, Arccos(-0.5)=120° etc

Write an equation in slope intercept form that passes through the point (3,9) and has a slope of -5
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

y= -5x +24

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope-intercept form</u>

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope is -5, m= -5.

Substitute m= -5 into the equation:

y= -5x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation:

When x= 3, y= 9,

9= -5(3) +c

9= -15 +c

c= 9 +15

c= 24

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -5x +24.

If 2/3 of the distance from the y-axis to point A (−30, −45) is equal to 1/4 of the distance from the x-axis to point B(a, a), w
Yuliya22 [10]

The value of a is 80

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of a point (x_0,y_0) from the y-axis can be written as

d_y = |x_0|

because the x-coordinate of the y-axis is zero.

Similarly, the distance of a point (x_0,y_0) from the x-axis can be written as

d_x=|y_0|

Since the y-coordinate of the x-axis is zero.

In this problem:

- The distance of the point A (−30, −45) from the y-axis can be written as

d_A = |-30|=30

- The distance of point B (a,a) from the x-axis can be written as

d_B = |a| = a

Since a>0.

We are told that 2/3 of the distance from the y-axis to point A (−30, −45) is equal to 1/4 of the distance from the x-axis to point B(a, a), which means

\frac{2}{3}d_A = \frac{1}{4}d_B

Therefore,

\frac{2}{3}(30)=\frac{1}{4}a

And solving for a,

20=\frac{1}{4}a\\a=80
