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

Plz help me with this I don't have my protractor with me plz help and do this
My name is Ann [436]
An acute angle is an angle less than 90 degrees. (smaller angle)
A right angle is exactly 90 degrees. (right angle)
An obtuse angle is over 90 degrees. (larger angle)
A reflex angle is any angle of 180 degrees. (largest angle)

You wouldn't *really* need a protractor to complete your homework; you could guesstimate.

I hope this helps!

A square window has an area of 256 in2. If each side of the window measures 4x, ……
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

sides are of 16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

here's your solution

==> area of square = 256 in^2. [given]

==> side of square = 4x

==> area of square= side^2

==> 4x^2 = 256

==> 16x^2 = 256

==> x^2 = 256/16

==> x^2 = 16

==> x = √16

==> x = 4

==> x = 4

hence sides are of 16 in

Hope it helps
