In geometry, it would be always helpful to draw a diagram to illustrate the given problem.
This will also help to identify solutions, or discover missing information.
A figure is drawn for right triangle ABC, right-angled at B.
The altitude is drawn from the right-angled vertex B to the hypotenuse AC, dividing AC into two segments of length x and 4x.
We will be using the first two of the three metric relations of right triangles.
(1) BC^2=CD*CA (similarly, AB^2=AD*AC)
(2) BD^2=CD*DA
(3) CB*BA = BD*AC
Part (A)
From relation (2), we know that
BD^2=CD*DA
substitute values
8^2=x*(4x) => 4x^2=64, x^2=16, x=4
so CD=4, DA=4*4=16 (and AC=16+4=20)
Part (B)
Using relation (1)
AB^2=AD*AC
again, substitute values
AB^2=16*20=320=8^2*5
=>
AB
=sqrt(8^2*5)
=8sqrt(5)
=17.89 (approximately)
Answer:
x=-6, y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your system by substitution.
y=x+7;−2x−11=y
Step: Solve y=x+7 for y:
y=x+7
Step: Substitute x+7 for y in −2x−11=y:
−2x−11=y
−2x−11=x+7
−2x−11+−x=x+7+−x(Add -x to both sides)
−3x−11=7
−3x−11+11=7+11(Add 11 to both sides)
−3x=18
−3x/
−3
=
18/
−3 (Divide both sides by -3)
x=−6
Step: Substitute−6 for x in y=x+7:
y=x+7
y=−6+7
y=1 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=−6 and y=1
We know that
[LA]=pi*r*l
where
LA is the lateral area of the cone
r is the radius
l is the slant height
l=LA/(pi*r)
r=15.1 cm
LA=555*pi cm²
l=(555*pi)/(pi*15.1)----> l=36.75 cm
the answer is
the slant height is 36.75 cm
Answer:
6 whole chairs
Step-by-step explanation:
(8 + (3/4)) / (1 + (5/12))
8.75 / 1.42
6.18 chairs
