What is the length of AC

Hi!
This is a fun one, as it delves into basic trigonometry.

We're going to use the Pythagorean theorem here, which says that for right triangles where "c" is the hypotenuse,

a² + b² = c²

We have to split this large triangle into two parts, both of which are right triangles. (This is why they drew a line in the middle to tell you that the larger triangle is composed of two right triangles.)

Let's do the one on the right first.

We know that the length of the hypotenuse is 10, and that the length of one of the legs is 6.5. If we plug this into our equation, we'll get the length of the other leg. I'm choosing "b" to be 6.5, but it really doesn't matter if you pick "a" or "b", so long as you reserve "c" for the hypotenuse (longest side).

a² + 6.5² = 10²
a² + 42.25 = 100
a² = 57.75
√a² = √57.75
a ≈ 7.6

Therefore, the length of DC is about 7.6.

Find the length of AD using the same method (7.5 is the hypotenuse "c", and 6.5 is one of the legs "a" or "b"). Then, once you have AD, add the lengths of AD and DC to get AC.

Have a great one!

I have to write the definitions of all of these math terms, can you help me?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Solution of an Equation in Two Variables - Generally, a two-variable system solution is an ordered pair that makes BOTH equations valid.

Graph of an Equation in Two Variables - In the Ax + By = C form, linear equations with two variables will appear, and the resulting graph is always a straight line.

Linear Equation - Any equation that can be written in shape is a linear equation. Ax+b=0, 0.0 Where the real numbers are a and b, and x is a vector.

Linear Function - Those whose graph is a straight line are linear functions. The following form has a linear function. F(x) = y = a + bx.

Which fraction is greater 9/12 or 1/3
ValentinkaMS [17]
We need to first find a common denominator. This means that we need the 12 and the 3 to be the same number. We can change the 1/3 into 4/12 and see that 9/12 is larger than 4/12.
