Find the value of y.

Mathematics
1 answer:
snow_tiger [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  y = √55

Step-by-step explanation:

All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same for all:

  5/y = y/(5+6)

  y^2 = 55

  y = √55

_____

<em>Comment on the geometry</em>

There are three "geometric mean" relationships that apply to this geometry.

  1. the altitude BD is the geometric mean of BC and BA (√30)
  2. the long side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the longer segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (x = √66)
  3. the short side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the shorter segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (y = √55)

If you were aware of the last of these relationships, you could write down the answer without any "work."

  y = √(5(5 +6)) = √55

__

The geometric mean is the n-th root of the product of n numbers. When there are 2 numbers, it is the square root of their product.

parking garage has 5 floors. If 117 cars can be parked on each floor, how many total cars can park in the garage? Drag numbers t
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

585 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Floors = 5

Cars = 117 per floor

Required

Determine the total number of cars

This is calculated by multiplying number of cars per floor by number of floors.

Total = Floors*Cars

Total = 5  * 117

Total = 585

<em>Hence, there are 585 cars in total</em>

Answer: Choice A)  3 \sqrt{26}

==================================================

Work Shown:

\text{The two points are } (x_1,y_1) = (6,7) \text{ and }  (x_2,y_2) = (3,-8)\\\\d = \text{Distance between } (x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2} = \text{Distance Formula}\\\\d = \sqrt{(6-3)^2+(7-(-8))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(6-3)^2+(7+8)^2}\\\\

d = \sqrt{(3)^2+(15)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9+225}\\\\d = \sqrt{234}\\\\d = \sqrt{9*26}\\\\d = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{26}\\\\d = 3\sqrt{26}\\\\

When going from 234 to 9*26, the idea here is to factor where one factor is the largest perfect square possible. That way we can use the rule \sqrt{x*y} = \sqrt{x}*\sqrt{y} to break up the root and simplify.
