Answer: In geometry, an altitude of a triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to (i.e., forming a right angle with) a line containing the base (the side opposite the vertex). This line containing the opposite side is called the extended base of the altitude.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

x-4y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y– 1 =1/4 (x – 12)

Multiply each side by 4

4y -4 = x-12

Subtract x from each side

-x +4y -4 = -12

Add 4 to each side

-x+4y -4+4 = -12 +4

-x+4y = -8

Multiply by -1

x-4y = 8

HELP ME ASAP.. MY TEACHER IS ASKING FOR THE ANSWER ​
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

a) 10.7 cm

b) 11.6 cm

c) 29.9 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

a) sin(α)/a = sin(β)/b

sin(∠BCD)/BD = sin(DBC)/DC

sin(41°)/BD = sin(55°)/13.4

BD = 13.4*sin(41°)/sin(55°) = 10.73 cm ≈ 10.7 cm

b) From ΔBCD , ∠BDC = 180-(41+55) = 84°

∠ABD and ∠BDC are alternate interior angles, so they are congruent, and

∠ABD = ∠BDC  = 84°

AD²= AB² + BD² - 2*AB*BD*cos (∠ABD) =

= 5.6² + 10.73² - 2*5.6*10.73*cos(84°) = 133.93 cm²

AD =√(133.93) ≈11.6 cm

c) Area(ADB) = (1/2)*AB*BD*sin(∠ABD)=(1/2)*5.6*10.73*sin(84°) ≈ 29.9 cm²

Greeley [361]

Answer:

\huge \boxed{\mathrm{\bold{D.} \ 315}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Odd numbers from the list are 75, 189, and 315.

75, 189, and 315, are composite numbers.

Prime factorization of 75 = 3 × 5 × 5

Prime factorization of 189 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 7

Prime factorization of 315 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 7

315 is an odd number, and a composite number that is divisible by 3 different prime numbers.
