Answer:
By using completing the square method, equation (x - 12) (x + 4) = 9 can be solved as x = (4 + √ 73) or (4 - √ 73)
Answer:
p = 7.2
q = 6.4
Step-by-step explanation:
if the triangles are similar then the side lengths must be proportional :
AC/BA = CD/BE
9/5 = p/4 cross multiply expressions
5p = 36 divide both sides by 5
p = 7.2
same goes for q
9/5 = (q+8)/8 cross multiply expressions
72 = 5(q+8) divide both sides by 5
14.4 = q+8 subtract 8 from both sides
6.4 = q
