Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use what is called geometric mean to solve this.

The hypotenuse of this triangle is split into two sections. One section corresponds to/equal to the altitude which is our "X", which corresponds to/equal to the second section.

You find "X" by using geometric mean and the proportion:

16/X=X/9

Then cross multiply to get 16 x 9= 144

then 144=x²

Solve for X.

X=12

How can you get 3/3 -1/6?

cluponka [151]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Addition or subtraction of fractions requires a common denominator. The value 3/3 can be multiplied by 2/2 to give 6/6, which has the same denominator as the other fraction.

$\dfrac{3}{3}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{3\cdot2}{3\cdot2}-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{6}{6}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{6-1}{6}=\boxed{\dfrac{5}{6}}$
