The answer is C.
You need you use Pythagoras theorem 2 times to have 2 equations with the same sides i.e. for example a2 + b2 = 81 and a2 - b2 = 9.
You can do it as you have different triangles but with the same sides.
Answer:
true
Step-by-step explanation:
because when we subtract 18 and 4, the answer is 12. Hence, the value is less than 18
0.5s + 1 = 7 + 4.5s Subtract 4.5s from both sides
-4s + 1 = 7 Subtract 1 from both sides
-4s = 6 Divide both sides by -4
s = -
Simplify
s = -
Problem 23
A = 40
B = 3x+1
C = 3x+1
B and C are congruent, so they have the same angle measure
The three angles of any triangle add to 180 degrees
A+B+C = 180
40+(3x+1)+(3x+1) = 180
6x+42 = 180
6x = 180-42
6x = 138
x = 138/6
x = 23
Answer: B) 23

Problem 24
AB is the midsegment parallel to XY
So AB is half that of XY
AB = (1/2)*XY
AB = (1/2)*28
AB = 14
Answer: B) 14

Problem 25
Note the ratio of the given rectangle's sides: 7/12 = 0.583 roughly
Divide the answer choices in a similar fashion
A) 5/7 = 0.714
B) 14/36 = 0.389
C) 21/36 = 0.583
D) 21/48 = 0.4375
We get the same result in choice C as we did in the original rectangle
Answer: C) 21 ft x 36 ft
