Answer:
y = √55
Step-by-step explanation:
All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same for all:
5/y = y/(5+6)
y^2 = 55
y = √55
_____
<em>Comment on the geometry</em>
There are three "geometric mean" relationships that apply to this geometry.
- the altitude BD is the geometric mean of BC and BA (√30)
- the long side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the longer segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (x = √66)
- the short side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the shorter segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (y = √55)
If you were aware of the last of these relationships, you could write down the answer without any "work."
y = √(5(5 +6)) = √55
__
The geometric mean is the n-th root of the product of n numbers. When there are 2 numbers, it is the square root of their product.
Answer:
d=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor d^2 - 2d - 8 into (d-4)(d+2)
Move -2/d+2 onto the other side, changing it into 2/d+2.

Let the empty side equal zero.
Add 3/d-4 and 2/d+2

Then add that to -3d.

Multiply 0 by d+2 and d-4 to get 2d-2 by itself.
2d=2
d=1
I can't edit the equation, but it's d-4 althroughout the question. Sorry for being so slow.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: what triangle?
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Circumference formula is C=2 pi r, if you divide the pizza by 2 to get the radius,5, then input it into the formula to get 31.41592654, and since this number is smaller than 32 it will fit. If 10 is the radius it will not fit.
