Answer:

  21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.

The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...

  AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant

Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...

  AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25

  AD = 4

Then the segment DC is ...

  DC = AC -AD = 25 -4

  DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steve works:

- 60 hour per week = 12 hours per day (60/5)

- first job: 3 hours per day = 15 hours per week

- x = second job hours per day

equitation:

1st option to calculate:

12 (total hours per day) = 3 (hours per day on first job) + X

9 = X

2nd option to calculate:

60(total hours per week) = 15 (3 hours per day x 5) + x

45 = x

you need to divide 45 / 5 to get the daily hours which is 9

vivado [14]

Answer:

<em>The actual distance between Rose Lake and the hiking trail is 7 miles.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual distance between Rose Lake and the main road is 3.5 miles and the scaled distance on the map is 2 inch.

Suppose, the actual distance between Rose Lake and the hiking trail is  d miles.

Given that, the scaled distance from Rose Lake to the hiking trail on the map is 4 inch.

So, <u>according to the ratio of "scaled distance" to the "actual distance"</u>, the equation will be......

\frac{2}{3.5}= \frac{4}{d} \\ \\ 2d=4*3.5=14\\ \\ d=\frac{14}{2}=7

Thus, the actual distance between Rose Lake and the hiking trail is 7 miles.
