The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
The length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse
h²=x*y
where
h is the length of t<span>he altitude to the hypotenuse
h=12
x and y are </span>the two segments of the hypotenuse
so
12²=x*y----------> 144=x*y

<span>the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse could be
x=6
y=24
x*y=144

the answer is
6 and 24</span>

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

36 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scaling factor of 12. No complicated Pythagorean theorem has to be used in this case.

60/12 = 5

48/12 = 4

3 is the only base number remaining.

3(12) =36

A population of geese grow in such a way that each generation is simply 2.2 times the previous generation. There were 3 geese in
lapo4ka [179]
First generation: 3

Second generation: 3\times2.2

Third generation: 3\times2.2\times2.2=3\times2.2^2

Fourth generation: 3\times2.2\times2.2\times2.2=3\times2.2^3

And so on. The general formula for the nth generation is 3\times2.2^{n-1}. So by the 15th generation, you should expect around 3\times2.2^{15-1}\approx186655 geese.
