Answer:

x = 8√5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, there are three right angle triangles.

So, by Pythagoras theorem,

y²+ 4² = z²

y² + 16 = z²------(1)

Similarly x² = 16² + y²--------(2)

and (16 + 4)² = x² + z²

20² = x² + z²-------(3)

Now we put the value of z² from equation 1 to equation 3

20² = x² + y² + 16

x² + y² = 400 - 16

x² + y² = 384

y² = 384 - x²------(4)

Now we put the value of y² from equation 4 to equation 2

x² = 16² + 384 - x²

2x² = 256 + 384

2x² = 640

x² = 320

x = 8√5

Therefore x = 8√5 will be the answer.

Answer:

x = 8√3

Step-by-step explanation:

y /4 = 16/y

y^2 = 64

y = 8

x^2 = 16^2 - 8^2

x^2  = 256 - 64

x^2 = 192

x = √192

x = √(64 * 3)

x = 8√3

The length of a side of an equilateral triangle is 40cm. what is the length of the altitude of the triangle?
podryga [215]

Answer:

20√3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into 2 equal right triangles, it bisects the base and the angle opposite to the base.

<u>Let the altitude be x. Then as per Pythagorean theorem:</u>

  • x² = 40² - (40/2)²
  • x²= 1600 -400
  • x²= 1200
  • x= √1200
  • x= 20√3 cm

<u>Correct choice is</u> the second one

(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

((-8) - (6)) / ((3) - (-4))

(-8 - 6) / (3 + 4)
