You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
Answer: adult ticket : 5.50
Student ticket : 2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1727 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the formula for sample size given as
Where:
p = Mean
ME = Margin of error = 3
z = z score
Therefore, we have
p = 150/240 = 0.625
z at 99 % = 2.575
ME = 
3%
Therefore 
The number of students Professor York have to sample to estimate the proportion of all Oxnard University students who watch more than 10 hours of television each week within ±3 percent with 99 percent confidence = 1727 students.
