In ABC AD=12 , AB=15,and AC=13 what is BC

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kipish [7]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Given:</u>

A triangle ABC where AD = 12 units, AB = 15 units, and AC = 13 units.

<u>To find:</u>

The length of BC.

<u>Solution:</u>

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse will be equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

There are 2 triangles, ACD and ABD in triangle ABC.

In triangle ACD, AC is the hypotenuse.

In triangle ABD, AB is the hypotenuse.

Assume the length of CD is x and the length of DB is y.

For triangle ACD, AC^{2} = AD^{2} + CD^{2} .

13^{2} = 12^{2} +x^{2} .

x^{2} = 169-144 = 25.

x = \sqrt{25} = 5.

For triangle ABD, AB^{2} = AD^{2} + BD^{2} .

15^{2} = 12^{2} +y^{2} .

y^{2} = 225-144 = 81.

y = \sqrt{81} = 9.

CB=CD+DB = 5+9=14 units.

So BC is option C. 14 units long.

Tim says that every time you mutiply two
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

I disagree

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not true because when you multiply a number by one. It will give you its number. It may be a larger number than 1 but it is not bigger than both numbers. Also if you multiply 0 by a number. It will eventually give you the answer 0 .It will be smaller than the number you started with. eg   100x0 = 0

Which two lines are parallel?<br> Which two lines are perpendicular?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines = - 1

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

All the equations given are in slope- intercept form

y = 2x + 1 → with m = 2

y = \frac{1}{2} x - 4 → with m = \frac{1}{2}

y = x + 1 → with m = 1

y = - \frac{1}{x} x - 3 → with m = - \frac{1}{2}

y = 10 + x → y = x + 10 → with m = 1

Thus

y = x + 1 and y = 10 + x are Parallel since both have m = 1

y = 2x + 1 and y = - \frac{1}{2} x - 3 are Perpendicular since 2 × - \frac{1}{2} = - 1

I NEED YALL’S HELP <br> 2x+12=64<br> Step by step
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

2x + 12 = 64

x = 26 (mark brain if this helps and is correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve equations with one missing variable we must use the order of operations of equality

step 1: use the subtraction property of equality meaning subtract each side of the equation

ex: 2x + 12 - 12 = 64 - 12   (2x = 52)

step 2: use the division property of equality meaning divide each side of the equation by 2

ex: 2x/2 = 52/2   (x = 26)

step 3: check your answer by putting 26 as x because that is our answer

2(26) + 12 = 64 (multiply 2 * 26)

52 + 12 = 64 (add 52 + 12)

64 = 64 (if both sides of the equation are the same number like 64 = 64 then your answer is true meaning that x is equal to 26)
