<u>Given</u>:
The given triangle is a similar triangle.
The length of the hypotenuse is 18 units.
The length of the leg is a.
The length of the part of the hypotenuse is 16 units.
We need to determine the proportion used to find the value of a.
<u>Proportion to find the value of a:</u>
We shall find the proportion to determine the value of a using the geometric mean leg rule.
Applying the leg rule, we have;

Substituting the values of hypotenuse, leg and part, we get;

Thus, the proportion used to find the value of a is 
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
x = 10 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0
Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.
Subtract 20 from both sides:
x^2 - 12 x = -20
Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.
Add 36 to both sides:
x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16
Hint: | Factor the left hand side.
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 6)^2 = 16
Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4
Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides:
x = 10 or x - 6 = -4
Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides:
Answer: x = 10 or x = 2
Answer:
the answer is 15/14 when you add them
Answer:
c)The proof writer mentally assumed the conclusion. He wrote "suppose n is an arbitrary integer", but was really thinking "suppose n is an arbitrary integer, and suppose that for this n, there exists an integer k that satisfies n < k < n+2." Under those assumptions, it follows indeed that k must be n + 1, which justifies the word "therefore": but of course assuming the conclusion destroyed the validity of the proof.
Step-by-step explanation:
when we claim something as a hypothesis we can only conclude with therefore at the end of the proof. so assuming the conclusion nulify the proof from the beginning
The absolute change is the difference: 6.88 - 7.25 = -0.37
The rate of change is that divided by the originalprice x 100
Ratre of change: (-0.37/7.25 )*100 = -4.93%
