When a perpendicular is dropped from the right-angle (C) to the opposite side AB, the metric relations apply:
BD*BA=a^2 ..........................(1)
AD*AB=b^2...........................(2)
BD*DA=DC^2........................(3)
Given AD=6, AB=24, using metric relation (2) above, we have
b^2=6*24=144
=>
b=sqrt(144)=12
By the way, we conclude that this is a 30-60-90 triangle because b/AB=(1/2)=sin(B) => B=30 degrees.
Answer: b=12
Sum of two interiors=exterior
Divide 2 from both sides
t < 5/2
Hope this helps!
The total number of gallons of paint needed for the big room is 3x and the number of gallons of paint needed for the small room is 2y.
3x + 2y = 16
Given the sizes of the room, the relation should be that,
x = 2y
Solving the equation,
3(2y) + 2y = 16
y = 2
Therefore x is equal to 4 gallons.
With the condition that only the bigger room is painted, the number of gallons of paint used should be 12 gallons and what is left should be 4 gallons.
