Explanation:

Given: " a + 1 <span>− 2 = 4 " ; Solve for "a" ;
4 + 2 = 6 ;
6 </span>− 1 = 5 ; → a = 5 ;
To check our work:
5 + 1 − 2 = ? 4 ?? ;
5 + 1 = 6 ;
6 − 2 = 4. Yes!
So the answer is: [C]: " 5 ".

Answer:
x = 3.87
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the right angle altitude theorem, we know that all three triangles are congruent, so the lengths of corresponding sides of the triangles are in proportion..
AD/DB = DB/DC
15/x = x/1
x² = 15
x = √15
x = 3.87
it just so happen that √2 is an irrational number, so any product with it as a factor, will yield an irrational number as well.
factoid: Ancient Greeks were scared of irrational numbers, and they steered clear from √2.
