The triangles ABD, ADC and ABC are similar (AA stands for "angle, angle" and means that the triangles have two of their angles equal).

If two triangles have two of their angles equal, the triangles are similar.

Therefore the sides of triangles are in proportion.


\dfrac{c}{16}=\dfrac{9}{c}


cross multiply


c\cdot c=16\cdot9\\\\c^2=144\to c=\sqrt{144}\\\\c=12


\dfrac{a}{9+16}=\dfrac{16}{a}


cross multiply


a\cdot a=25\cdot16\\\\a^2=400\to a=\sqrt{400}\to a=20


The length of side b we can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem:


b^2+20^2=(9+16)^2\\\\b^2+400=25^2\\\\b^2+400=625\ \ \ |-400\\\\b^2=225\to b=\sqrt{225}\to b=15


Answer:

a = 20; b = 15; c = 12

The three missing lengths are the left hypotenuse, x, the middle altitude, y, and the right hypotenuse, z.


9/y = y/16


y^2 = 9 * 16


y^2 = 144


y = 12


9^2 + 12^2 = x^2


x^2 = 225


x = 15


12^2 + 16^2 = z^2


z^2 = 400


z = 20


From left to right, the sides measure 15, 12, and 20 units.

PLEASE HELP DUE NOW!!!<br> WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!

Answer: -10, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets add the two equations. add the x's, add the y's, add the constants on the right.

we get

0x - 1y = -10

so then divide --10 by -1 because we do the opposite operations to both sides

and we get y = 10

now substitute y = 10 into the first equation

-10x - 9(10) = 10

and then we get -10x - 90 = 10

now add 90 to both sides

-10x = 100

divide 100 by -10

x = -10

y = 10

checks out

EPIC. STAY EPIC AND AWESOME FRIEND.

Thea has a key on her calculator marked $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$. If an integer is displayed, pressing the $\textcolor
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.
