6 comes before 7 and after 5, so 6 would make the number 5 less than it and 7 would make it greater than 6

Because 6/8 means, dividing 6 by 8. If you divide 7 by 8 eight you will get a greater number then 6/8 because 7 is greater than 6. And if you divide 5 by 8 you will get a smaller number than 6/8 because 5 is less than 6. I hope its not confusing.

In the △PQR, PQ = 39 in, PR = 17 in, and the altitude PN = 15 in. Find QR.
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

So, this triangle PQR can be broken into two right triangles, PNQ and PNR, with legs PQ = 39, PN =15, and QN = ? and PR = 17, PN = 15, and NR =? respectively.


Let's solve for what is easier first:

Since we know that 5-15-17 is a Pythagorean triplet, we can infer that NR is 5....like I said earlier, it is a right triangle, so this guess holds true.


Here comes the interesting part:

Now, we have one part of QR, which is QN.

The other part can be solved by using the Pythagorean theorem.

It is (39^2-15^2)^(1/2)..which gives you 36, the square root of 1296, which happens to be the difference between the squares of 15 and 39.

SO, QR = QN + NR

5+36 = 41

QR = 41.

Hope this helps!
