Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 6 = 3x + 4

5x - 3x = 4 + 6

2x = 10

x = 5


FG = 5x - 6

FG = 5×5 - 6

FG = 25 - 6

FG = 19


I hope I helped you.

Answer:

FG = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sides of the triangle are equal since JG is a perpendicular bisector

FG = HG

5x-6 = 3x+4

Subtract 3x from each side

5x-3x -6 = 3x+4-3x

2x-6 =4

Add 6 to each side

2x-6+6 =4+6

2x = 10

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 10/2

x =5

We want to find FG

FG = 5x-6

FG = 5(5)-6

    = 25-6

    = 19

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD is drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AB=5 and AD=1, what is the length of AC ? (Note: the fig
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x = 24.99 or 25

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Using sin to figure out the angle of ABD, we can figure out the angle of CBD by subtracting it from 90°.</em>

sin y = (1/5)

y = 11.54°

90 - 11.54 = 78.46°

<em>Now using Pythagorean Theorem (</em><em>a²+b²=c²</em><em>) we can solve for line BD.</em>

1² + b² = 5²

1 + b² = 25

b² = 24

b = √24

<em>Now we can use tan to figure out the length of segment DC.</em>

tan(78.46) = z/√24

z = 23.99

<em>We can now combine the known length of segment AD and the length of DC to get </em><em>x</em><em>.</em>

1 + 23.99 = 24.99 or <u>about</u> 25.

The definition of similar triangles says that 2 triangles are similar if they have the same shape but different size. There are two criteria to check for this:
1) If all angles in one triangle are equal to the angles in another one, then the 2 are equal.
2) If the sides have the same proportions, then the 2 triangles are similar.


1) We have that all the angles of the 2 triangles have an equal angle in the other triangle. In specific, Q is matched to B, P to A and R to C. Hence, since corresponding angles are congruent, the two triangles are similar.
2) Here we are given information about the sides of the triangles, so we will check the second criterion. We form the ratio of the largest sides of each trangle and the shortest sides. 30/5=6. For the shortest sides, 18/3=6. Finally for the middle sides, 24/4=6. Hence, we have that the triangles are similar since the ratios are equal. (it doesn't matter whether we take the bigger or the smaller side as a numerator, as long as we are consistent).
