Given CD is an altitude such that AD=BC , AB=3 cm and CD= √2 cm.

Let AD=x, Since given AB=3

                                     AD+DB=3

                                       x+DB = 3

                                        DB = 3-x

Since ΔBCD is rght angle triangle, let's apply Pythagoras theorem

BC^{2} = DB^{2} +CD^{2}

BC^{2} = (3-x)^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}

BC^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2

Since given AD=BC,let us plugin BC=x in above step.

x^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2

x^{2} =9-6x+x^{2} +2

6x=11

x=\frac{11}{6}

Now we know AD=x=\frac{11}{6} and given CD=√2.

Let us apply Pythagoras theorem for ΔACD

AC^{2} =AD^{2} +DC^{2}

AC^{2} = (\frac{11}{6} )^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}

AC^{2} =\frac{193}{36}

AC=\sqrt{\frac{193}{36} } = 2.315cm

In Amy’s backyard, there are also chickens and rabbits. There are 5 more chickens than rabbits. The total number of legs is 130.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

There are 25 chickens and 20 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of chickens

y ----> the number of rabbits

Remember that

1 chicken has two legs

1 rabbit has four legs

so

2x+4y=130 -------> equation A

x=y+5 -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

2(y+5)+4y=130

2y+10+4y=130

6y=120

y=20 rabbits

Find the value of x

x=y+5

x=20+5=25 chickens
