Answer:
CD = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe you know the geometric mean for altitudes?
CD = √AD * DB = √8 * 2 = √16 = 4
If you are not aware of this theorem, then use the similarity of triangles.
ADC ~ CDB
AD/DC = CD/DB (cross-multiply)
CD^2 = AD*DB,
CD = √AD * DB = √8 * 2 = √16 = 4
Answer:
1) x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the Pythagorean thm for these questions. Where a and b are the legs (So order doesn't matter), and where c is the hypotenuse
1)
a² + b² = c²
9² + 12² = x²
81 + 144 = x²
x² = 225
You square root each side so you can get rid of the exponent on x.

x = 15
Y=40x+100 and the second question is y=1.69x
