You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
Answer:
y = 5x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First I found the slope by using the the definition that slope is rise/run so I saw that the y value went up from 4 to 9 which is 5 units and then the x value went up one in that same time. This means that the slope is 5/1. Then I found the y intercept by seeing where x = 0. On the graph you can see the line touches the y - axis at a value of 4 which means that the y - intercept is 4. Plugging these values into the y = mx + b equation you get y = 5x + 4.
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
To have a negative slope, <em>m</em> has to be negative. Any negative slope would show up as a negative coefficient in front of <em>x</em>.
Answer: x = 5y/ 2y + 4
Step-by-step explanation: coz I juss know
Approximately 50ft because 5 put into the shape would be around 48 and it would be the best estimate of 50
