Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the monomial y²-14y, in order to make the binomial a perfect square, we need to add a constant to the function using completing the square method.

To get the constant, we will multiply the coefficient of y by 1/2 and then square the resulting value.

- The coefficient of y is -14.

multiplying the coefficient of y by 1/2 will give -14/2 = -7

- squaring -7 will result in (-7)²

= 49

The constant that will be added to the binomial to make it a perfect square trinomial is 49

Answer:

$GF=72$

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles in the given figure are similar, from SAS. Notice that marked in the diagram, $CD=DE=EF=FA$ .

For triangle $\triangle CGF$ was base $GF$ , leg $CF$ contains three of these marked segments. In triangle $\triangle CHE$ with base $HE$ , leg $CE$ has two of these marked segments. By definition, similar polygons have corresponding sides in a constant proportion. Therefore, the length of GF must be $3/2$ the length of EH. Since the length of EH is given as 48, we have:
