Answer:

The length of CD is 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle ABC and if BC = 6 units and AD = 5 units

we have to find the length of DC.

In ΔABC and ΔBDC

∠ABC=∠BDC    (each 90°)

BC=BC   (common)

∠C=∠C   (Common)

By ASA rule, ΔABC≈ΔBDC

Therefore their corresponding sides are in proportion

\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{BD}{AB}=\frac{CD}{BC}

\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{CD}{BC}

Let CD=x units

BC^2=(AC)(CD)

6^2=(AD+CD)CD

36=(5+x)x

36=5x+x^2

x^2+5x-36=0

x^2+9x-4x-36=0

x(x+9)-4(x+9)=0

(x-4)(x+9)=0

x=4, -9

Distance can't be negative therefore

The length of CD is 4 units

Triangles plz help me
klasskru [66]

Given:

In \Delta ACR, AC=19, CR=13, AR=12.

To find:

The list of angles in order from least to greatest.

Solution:

In a triangle, the sides of triangles are completely depend on the interior of the triangle. In the triangle, the longest side has the largest opposite angle and the shortest side has the smallest opposite angle.

Arrange the sides of the triangle ACR in ascending order.

12

AR

It means the order of the opposite angles to sides is:

\angle C

Therefore, the list of angles in order from least to greatest is \angle C,\angle A,\angle R.

A survey is taken among customers of a fast-food restaurant to determine preference for Hamburger and Cheeseburger. Of 180 respo
stiv31 [10]

Using it's concept, it is found that the probabilities are given as follows:

a.1/2, 1/9, 5/9.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem, 90 out of 180 individuals are children, hence the probability is given by:

p = 90/180 = 1/2.

Out of 90 adults, 60 - 50 = 10 preferred cheeseburgers, hence the probability is given by:

p = 10/90 = 1/9.

Of the 180 individuals, 90 are children, and 10 are adults who prefer cheeseburgers, hence the probability is given by:

p = 100/180 = 10/18 = 5/9.

Hence option a is correct.
