The altitude will be the geometric mean of the lengths, so
. The smaller leg is the hypotenuse of a right triangle sides 4 and
so the usual trig cliche, hypotenuse 8.
Answer: 8
Answer:
53 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
if you start with 62 feet and add 39 feet because he went down 62+39 you get 101 then if you subtract 48 because he went up, 101-48 you get 53 feet
<em>x</em>/<em>r</em> + <em>x</em>/<em>w</em> + <em>x</em>/<em>t</em> = 1
<em>x</em> (1/<em>r</em> + 1/<em>w</em> + 1/<em>t</em>) = 1
<em>x</em> = 1 / (1/<em>r</em> + 1/<em>w</em> + 1/<em>t</em>)
To make the solution a bit cleaner, multiply through the numerator and denominator by the LCM of each fraction's denominator, <em>rwt</em> :
<em>x</em> = 1 / (1/<em>r</em> + 1/<em>w</em> + 1/<em>t</em>) • <em>rwt</em> / <em>rwt</em>
<em>x</em> = <em>rwt</em> / (<em>rwt</em>/<em>r</em> + <em>rwt</em>/<em>w</em> + <em>rwt</em>/<em>t</em>)
<em>x</em> = <em>rwt</em> / (<em>wt</em> + <em>rt</em> + <em>rw</em>)
Pretty sure it would be 21x^2+16x+17y
no, 5 is in the thousandths place
