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}

Answer:

  (b)  60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a pentagon is 540°, so you have ...

  90° +90° +150° +x +150° = 540°

  x = 540° -480°

  x = 60°

Help me I dunno know.
k0ka [10]

There is a rule:

One input(x-value) can only have one output(y-value) in order to be a function.

If one input has more than one output, it is not a function.

(This doesn't apply to outputs, one output can have more than one input and still be a function)

The 1st option is not a function because the inputs 9 and 10 have more than one output.

The 2nd option is not a function because the input 3 has more than one output.

The 3rd option is a function because each input only has one output.

The 4th option is not a function because the input 5 has more than one output.
