Mathematics
1 answer:
erica [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<h2>x = 12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔADC and ΔCDB are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AD}{DC}=\dfrac{DC}{DB}

We have AD = 16, DC = x, DB = 9. Substitute:

\dfrac{16}{x}=\dfrac{x}{9}            <em>cross multiply</em>

x^2=(16)(9)\to x=\sqrt{(16)(9)}\\\\x=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt9\\\\x=4\cdot3\\\\x=12

x,y, and z to the nearest tenth .(hint: use altitude and leg rules) PLEASE HELP FAST !!! please solve and show steps
madreJ [45]

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find z:

z = √(6^2 + 9^2)

z= √(36 + 81)

z = √117

z = 3√13 = 10.8

Use leg rule to find x:

x/6 = 6/9

Cross multiply:

9x = 36

Divide both sides by 9:

x = 36/9

x = 4

Use Pythagorean theorem to find y:

y = √(6^2 + 4^2)

y= √(36 + 16)

y = √52

y = 2√13 = 7.2
