Answer:

\frac{z}{h}=\frac{h}{y}\\\\\frac{a}{x}=\frac{x}{z}\\\\\frac{a}{w}=\frac{w}{y}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember that a Right triangle is a triangle that has an angle that measures 90 degrees.

According to the Altitude Rule, given a Right triangle, if you draw an altitude from the vertex of the angle that measures 90 degrees (The right angle) to the hypotenuse, the measure of that altitude is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.

In this case, you can identify that the altitude that goes from the vertex of the right angle (\angle G=90\°) to the hypotenuse of the triangle, is:

GF=h

Then, based on the Altitude Rule, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{z}{h}=\frac{h}{y}

According to the Leg Rule, each leg is the mean proportional between the hypotenuse and the portion of the hypotenuse that is located directly below that leg of the triangle.

Knowing this, you can set up the following proportions:

\frac{a}{x}=\frac{x}{z}\\\\\frac{a}{w}=\frac{w}{y}

Answer: The answer is D

\frac{a}{w}= \frac{w}{y}, \frac{a}{x}= \frac{x}{z}, \frac{y}{h} =\frac{h}{z}

Simplify (2x+3y)+(7x-3y)
Radda [10]
(2x+3y)+(7x-3y) First, group like terms together, so (2x+7x) + (3y-3y). Then simplify within the parentheses. 2x+7x = 9x and 3y-3y = 0, so you have 9x, which cannot be simplified any further. The answer is 9x.

Jack bought four dozen eggs at $10 per dozen six eggs were broken what percent of his money goes to waste?
Maurinko [17]
One dozen eggs is 48 eggs. Altogether that costs 40 dollars. If six of the eggs were broken then the money wasted would be 5 dollars.

The reason that it is 5 dollars is becuase it takes 10 to buy 12 eggs, and half of that is 6. So divide both 12 and 10 (separately) and you get 5 dollars for 6 eggs.

To get the percent you must divide 5 by 40.

The answer comes out to about 12.5% or 0.125.

So in the end, 12.5% of the money was wasted due to the broken eggs.

Hope this helped!
