Answer:

a - b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{a^2-b^2}{a+b} = 12 ← factor the numerator

a² - b² ← is a difference of squares and factors as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

Thus

\frac{(a-b)(a+b)}{a+b} = 12

Cancel the common factor (a + b) on numerator/ denominator, thus

a - b = 12

In the right triangle shown, m∠A = 30 degrees, and BC = 6√2, how long is AC?
mart [117]

They're trying to trick you with √2.  Remember in the 30/60/90 triangle the sides are in ratio 1:√3:2, with the "1" opposite the 30 degrees.

Here we have

1:√3:2  = 6√2:x:hypotenuse

or

x/(6√2) = √3/ 1

x = 6√2×√3 = 6√6

Answer: AC=6√6
