All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of (long leg)/(short leg) is the same. The long leg of ΔADB is
.. AD = AC -DC = 20 -4
.. AD = 16

Then
.. (long leg)/(short leg) = AD/DB = BD/DC
.. 16/h = h/4
.. h^2 = 64
.. h = 8

Selection D is appropriate.

_____
You may see this again. The altitude (h) from the right angle in a right triangle is the geometric mean of segments AD and DC. That is,
.. h = √((AD)*(DC))

Mr.Johnson weighs 135 pounds. Her husband weighs 80 kilogram. How many fewer pounds does Ms.Johnson weigh than her husband?

sweet-ann [11.9K]

First you convert kilograms to pounds,
1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds
next you times the number of pounds per kilogram by the number of kilograms given that need to be turned into pounds.
80 times 2.205 = 176.4
next you subtract to get the answer
176.4 - 135= 41.4
so Ms. Johnson weighs 41.4 pounds less than herr husband
