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.

25/28 - 2/7
it doesn’t need to be solved because it asked for an expression and not an equation, so no equal sign either

System by elimination <br><br>2x - y = -3 <br>-2x - 8y = 12​
topjm [15]

Answer:

x= -2 y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

stack the 2 equations on top of each other and add them together

the 2x and -2x cancel out and you are left with -9y=9

this gives you y= -1

you plug the y value into one of the equations:

2x - (-1) = -3

2x+1 = -3

2x= -4

x= -2

What’s the slope intercept form of (2,5) and (0,1)
Travka [436]

Answer:

y=2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the slope:

5-1/2 so 4/2 or 2

Then you write it in point-slope: (I used the point (0,1))

y-1=2x

Simplify than:

y=2x+1
