Describe how to draw the geometric mean in a right triangle

Mathematics
1 answer:
CaHeK987 [17]3 years ago
4 0
Answer: The height of the altitude from the hypotenuse to the vertex of the right angle is the geometric mean of the two segments formed on the hypotenuse.

The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of the product of the numbers.

When you draw your altitude, you will divide the hypotenuse into 2 segments. The geometric mean of those two lengthsis also the height of the altitude.

LAST QUESTION ON MY TEST PLEASE HELP
Kipish [7]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, you can use power of a point, more specifically when two secants intersect in the interior of a circle. From this, you get the equation:

(7 + x)(12) = (10)(2x + 2)

You can simplify and solve:

84 + 12x = 20x + 20

84 = 8x + 20

64 = 8x

x = 8

Find the commission on a $1,250 sale with a commission rate of 5%.
Nana76 [90]
Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving 
<span>$62..50 </span>

<span>Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. </span>
<span>Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!</span>
