Answer:
21 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.
The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...
AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant
Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...
AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25
AD = 4
Then the segment DC is ...
DC = AC -AD = 25 -4
DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters
Answer:
3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the size of the whole apple be T
Given that 3/4 of the apple is left, it means the size left
= 3T/4
Since Victor plans to eat 1/4 of the pie that was left, this amounts to
1/4 * 3T/4
= 3T/16
This means that Victor will eat 3/16 of the whole pie tomorrow
Answer:
m - 7 = -13 + m
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe C. Measuring the length from one end of the field tot he other would be the most reasonable answer, because Area = Length x Width
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the company only consists of men and women, then the ratio of women to the total number of employees in the company is 5 : (7 + 5) = 5 : 12.
Since there are 140 women working for the company, there are 140 * 12/5 = 336 employees.
