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
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>A.-6-3 = -9</u>
0+4 = 4
(-9,4)
<u>B.3-3 = 0</u>
-4+4 = 0
(0,0)
Answer:
5 units right, 2 units up
Answer:
The two numbers are 37.5 and 25.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Comment
Let the two numbers be x and y
Equations
x + y = 63
x - y = 12
Solution
Add the two equations. The ys cancel out.
2x = 75 Divide by 2
2x/2 = 75/3 Do the division
x = 37.5
Now use one of the given equations to solve for y
x + y = 63
x = 37.5
37.5 + y = 63 Subtract 37.5 from both sides
37.5-37.5+y= 63 - 37.5 Collect the like terms on both sides
y = 25.5
Check
x - y =? 12
37.5-25.5 =? 12
12 = 12
