Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
number one is 10
number two is (c) they have the same median
The answer for 1. A
Answer for 2. B
Answer for 3. B
When a perpendicular is dropped from the right-angle (C) to the opposite side AB, the metric relations apply:
BD*BA=a^2 ..........................(1)
AD*AB=b^2...........................(2)
BD*DA=DC^2........................(3)
Given AD=6, AB=24, using metric relation (2) above, we have
b^2=6*24=144
=>
b=sqrt(144)=12
By the way, we conclude that this is a 30-60-90 triangle because b/AB=(1/2)=sin(B) => B=30 degrees.
Answer: b=12
Answer: True
=================================================
x^2 = x*x
5x = 5*x
Both x^2 and 5x have a factor of x in common
x^2 + 5x = x*x + 5*x
x^2 + 5x = x*x + x*5
x^2 + 5x = x*(x+5) .... use the distributive property in reverse
x^2 + 5x factors to x*(x+5)
As a way to check, you can distribute the x back in
x*(x+5) = x*x + x*5
x*(x+5) = x^2 + 5x
and we get the original expression again
