Answer:

(C) 2√15

Step-by-step explanation:

Recognize that all the triangles are right triangles, so are similar to each other. In these similar triangles, the ratio of the short side to the long side is the same for all.

... CB/CA = CT/CB

... CB² = CA·CT = 10·6 = 60 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by CA·CB; substitute values

... CB = √60 = 2√15 . . . . . . . take the square root; simplify

_____

<em>Comment on this solution</em>

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle (CB in this case) divides the hypotenuse into lengths such that the altitude is their geometric mean. That is ...

... CB = √(AC·CT) . . . . as above

This is true for any right triangle — another fact of geometry to put in your list of geometry facts.

The length of the rectangular prism shown below is three times the width. The height and the width are the same. If the volume o
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: the length of the prism is 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a rectangular prism is expressed as

Volume = length × height × width

Volume = LWH

The length of the rectangular prism is three times the width.. It means that

L = 3W

The height and the width are the same. This means that

H = W

Therefore,

Volume = 3W × × W × W = 3W³

If the volume of the prism is 81 cubic centimeters, it means that

81 = 3W³

Dividing through by 3, it becomes

81/3 = 3W³/3

W³ = 27

Taking cube root of both sides, it becomes

W = 3

Therefore, the the length of the prism would be

L = 3W = 3 × 3

L = 9 cm

A 200 kg sailboat experiences an unbalanced force of 895 N pushing it forward, what is the sailboat's acceleration?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

4.5m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Mass= 200kg

Force= 895N

Required

the acceleration a

We know that

F=ma

a= F/m

substitute

a= 895/200

a= 4.5 m/s^2

Hence the accelaration is 4.5m/s^2

Pleas explain how you get 4 5/24 from 6 1/8-1 11/12? I got 4 2/24 but after using my calculator, I got 5/24.
Savatey [412]
6 \frac{1}{8}-1 \frac{11}{12}=    \frac{49}{8}- \frac{23}{12}=  \frac{49*3-23*2}{24} =  \frac{147-46}{24}=  \frac{101}{24}=4 \frac{5}{24}

What is 56.398 rounded to the nearest tenth?
Vesna [10]
Well when you round to the nearest 10 it will be 1 number after the point (this is due to that 10 only has one 0.) now we know that if there is a number bigger than 5 besides the number they ask you in this case the first after the point you will add 1 to that number. in this case you will add 1 to the 3. this will give you the answer of 56.4

Hope this helps

What is the measure of the angles
finlep [7]
They are vertical angles and would be the same so set them to equal each other and solve:

3x-4 = 2x+9

add 4 to both sides:

3x = 2x +13

subtract 2x from each side:

x = 13

now replace x with 13 in the original equations:

3x-4 = 3(13) -4 = 39-4 = 35
2x+9 = 2(13)+9 = 26+9 = 35

the angles = 35 degrees
