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

Since d x pi = circumference
I use 3.14 as pie

I did 9 x pi = 28.26 I DID NOT divide this by two because there are three half circles and 28.26 counts as two of them

Since there is another half circle I divide 28.26 by 2

28.26 + 14.13 = 42.39

Now plus the bottom length

42.39 + 9 = 51.39

How do you decide which variable to isolate in order to use the substitution method to solve a system of linear equation?​
Kazeer [188]
It doesn’t really matter which variable you isolate first but usually you would use the one that’s by itself already. like for example one of the equations was y = 8. you would already have your y solve for so you would just have to plug that in for y in the other equation. personally, i usually do x first unless one of the equations has either x or y by itself already. i think its easier to just do x first and then solve for y after that, but it just depends on what the equations are; sometimes it might be easier to just do y first. hope this helps!
