Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Altitude- on- Hypotenuse theorem

The 2 triangles are similar to the outside triangle and to each other, that is

Δ RQT ~ ΔSRT

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{RT}{ST} = \frac{QT}{RT}, substitute values

\frac{x}{9} = \frac{16}{x} ( cross- multiply )

x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{144} = 12

Mathematical proofs are important because they help to explain concepts. They also serve as concrete validation for a mathematical result or statement.

  • In geometry, an incorrect conclusion within a proof might lead to wrong estimations of size, length, and other spatial properties.
  • Algebra, topology, arithmetics, calculus, and statistics are some other branches of mathematics. In statistics, an incorrect conclusion within a proof might lead to the wrong interpretation of bulky data. Statistical properties like the mean, median, and mode can be misinterpreted.
  • Businesses that rely on statistics for production and forecasting might be affected.

<h3>What is a Mathematical proof?</h3>

A proof in mathematics is a number of conclusions that lead to the justification of a final statement.

Having incorrect mathematical proofs can be dangerous because it will cause the misinterpretation of concepts and the obtaining of wrong results.

What is pi ? <br><br><br><br><br><br><br> ps. just trying this -.-
marysya [2.9K]
'Pi' ( π ) is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

The exact value of 'pi' can't be completely written with numbers, so whenever
we use 'pi', we always use an approximation.
