The answer will be listed below.
Step-by-step explanation:
No Solution: -2z+2+4z=16/5+2z-6/5; 5r+2=6r+3-r
One Solution: 3/2x+2.3-1/2x=4.3+x; 2x+2/3=2x+4/5-4x; 32p-2.5+2.1p=5p-7/2
Infinite Solution: 17/4+4.2y-9/4=2.2y+6+2y-4
Note: Remember that infinite solution is like 1=1 or 5x+2=5x+2. No solution is where it's like 0=1. 1 solution is where it's like x=2.
Answer:
a = 8
b = 4√5
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.
short side/long side = a/16 = 4/a
a² = 64 . . . . . . multiply by 16a
a = 8 . . . . . . take the square root
__
hypotenuse/short side = b/4 = 20/b
b² = 80 . . . . . . . multiply by 4b
b = 4√5 . . . . . take the square root
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
These relations for the right triangle can be summarized by the rule "the length of a segment that touches the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the two hypotenuse segments it touches." In the case of b, that means ...
b = √((4)(4+16)) = 4√5
The same sort of relation applies to the unmarked vertical segment on the left:
c = √((16)(16+4)) = 8√5
And, we saw ...
a = √((4)(16)) = 8
Of course, if this rule is to make sense, you need to know that the geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product. (In general, the geometric mean of n numbers is the n-th root of their product.)
