Answer:
A is correct, x=7, AB=20
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the options say x=7 so you can just input 7 into 4x-8 to find AB
4(7)-8=AB
28-8=AB
20=AB

Answer:
F. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the long side to the short side is the same in similar triangles. The long side of triangle BAD is AD, which has length 20-4 = 16.
BD/DE = AD/BD
h/4 = 16/h
h^2 = 64 . . . . . . . multiply by 4h
h = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (matches selection F)

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
BD = √(AD·DC) is called the "geometric mean" of the segments AD and DC. This geometry has some other geometric mean relationships as well:
BC = √(AC·DC)
BA = √(AC·AD)
The answer is d, (-2.5,0.75)
