Answer: 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following details :

DAC = 90° and ABC = 90° = right angled

Segment AB is Parallel to segment DC

FROM THE DETAILS ;

Triangle ABC and ACD are similar triangles.

Length AC = 7 Units

Length AB = 4 Units

For similar triangles :

Segment CD /AC = Segment AC / AB

CD / 7 = 7 / 4

Cross multiply

CD × 4 = 7 × 7

CD × 4 = 49

CD = 49 / 4

CD = 12.25 Units

A triangle has two sides of length 15 cm and 17 cm. Select all the values of its third side that would make it a right triangle
Natali [406]

Answer:

\sqrt{514} cm, 8cm, are both options

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right triangle one can find the length of the longest side by using the Pythagorean theorem. So there are two options I can think of that if the triangle is a right triangle will work. First remember what the Pythagorean theorem is : side a^2+side b^2=hypotenuse^2

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. So if the sides that are 15 and 17 cm are not the longest sides then the formula would be:

15^{2} +17^2=c^2\\15^2+17^2=\sqrt{514}cm

But if 17cm is the longest side then:

a^2+15^2=17^2\\8^2+15^2=17^2\\a=8cm

Hope this helps!
