Since a^2+b^2=c^2 becomes 20^2+b^2=29^2, we solve for b:
400+b^2=841
b^2=441
b=21
So the length of b is 21 units.
Hope this helped!
Let x = length of segment EF.
Assume that
(a) line segments AD, EF, and BC are parallel, and
(b) the vertical distance between AD and EF is equal to the vertical distance between EF and BC.
Then from similarity between geometric shapes, we can write


x=3.2 (nearest tenth)
Answer: B.
3.2
3(x-1) = 2x - y
3x-3 = 2x-y
3x-2x+y = 3
x + y = 3 ----> (1)
2(x+y) = 3+3y
2x + 2y = 3 + 3y
2x + 2y - 3y = 3
2x - y = 3 -----> (2)
make equation (1) and (2) together
x + y + 2x - y = 3+3
3x = 6
x = 2
now make x = 2 in equation (1)
x + y = 3
2 + y = 3
y = 3-2
y = 1
(x,y) = (2,1)
