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.

A teacher Buys tickets for each of my students to visit a museum each student and $6.50 and she spent a total of $182 how many s
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The ticket is bought for 28 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the teacher is going to buy museum ticket for each students.

Total money spent = $182

Price of each ticket = $6.50

Let total number of tickets bought = x

We know that to find the total amount of money spent on ticket, we can add price of each ticket (i.e. $6.50) x number of times.

OR

In other words, simply multiply the number of tickets with price of each ticket to find the total money spent.

Total money spent = x \times 6.50

We know that total money spent is $182.

\Rightarrow x \times 6.50 = 182\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{182}{6.50}\\\Rightarrow x = 28

The ticket is bought for 28 students

What is the definition of Absolute value and how do you find Absolute Value?
rusak2 [61]

Absolute Value. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. For example, -7 is 7 units away from zero, so its absolute value would be 7.

One of the tables shows a proportional relationship. Graph the line representing the proportional relationship from this table i
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Table C

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

Find the value of the constant of proportionality in each table

Table A

For x=-2, y=-4 ------>k=-4/-2=2  

For x=-1, y=-3 ------>k=-3/-1=3  

This table has different values of k

therefore

the table A does not represent a proportional relationship

Table B

For x=-2, y=-4 ------>k=-4/-2=2  

For x=-1, y=-2 ------>k=-2/-1=2  

For x=1, y=3 ------>k=3/1=3  

This table has different values of k

therefore

the table B does not represent a proportional relationship

Table C

For x=-2, y=-4 ------>k=-4/-2=2  

For x=-1, y=-2 ------>k=-2/-1=2  

For x=1, y=2 ------>k=2/1=2  

For x=2, y=4 ------>k=4/2=2  

This table has the same value of k

therefore

the table C  represent a proportional relationship

Table D

For x=-2, y=-4 ------>k=-4/-2=2  

For x=-1, y=-2 ------>k=-2/-1=2  

For x=1, y=2 ------>k=2/1=2  

For x=2, y=6 ------>k=6/2=3  

This table has different values of k

therefore

the table D does not represent a proportional relationship
