That's addition of mixed numbers. Convert 3/7 and 5/9 to fractions with the denominator (7)(9) = 63 (this is the LCD):
10 27/63 + 19 35/63
This comes out to 29 62/63.
Well, I Don't See The Answer Choices, But The Next Step Is Most Likely To Subtract 8 From Both Sides.
Answer: √117
Step-by-step explanation:
Since no diagram present, am assuming hypotenuse AB and right angle C. Let side opp angle B be b, and side opposite angle A be a. Altitude CD is x.
a^2 + b^2 = 22^2 (Pythagorean)
Using Pythag on two smaller triangles,
x^2 + 13^2 = a^2
x^2 + 9^2 = b^2
Substituting in first equation,
x^2 + 13^2 + x^2 + 9^2 = 22^2
x^2 = 117, so x = √117
