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.

podryga [215]

Answer:

The coefficient is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There is an imaginary 1 in front of variables that becomes the coefficient if there isn't already a number there. If it was 5x squared, the coefficient would be 5.

Pls help i need this asap
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Let x = # of commercials

      y = # of movies

<u>System of Equations:</u>

x + y = 90

40x + 110y = 500

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to set our variables before we start solving. After setting the variables, we can set up the equations. If x = # of commercials and y = # of movies, then we can assume x + y = 90, as there have been a total of 90 commercials and movies played altogether. Then, we know that their worth is $500, so the price of all the commercials played and the price of all the movies played (which is 40x + 110y) sum to $500.

What does this mean? and how can y =x or what us the answer to y=x I need help
Readme [11.4K]
At the end of the directions, it talks about parallel, perpendicular, or neither. When x=y, the lines are perpendicular and have infinite solutions. When they are parallel, there is no solution. You'll get an answer like 4=5. Neither means there is only one answer, and you will get one x and one y.
