Answer:
RT = 12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
ΔSRQ is right triangle.
m∠R = 90°
An altitude has been constructed from point T to side SQ.
m∠RTQ = 90°
By applying geometric mean theorem in triangle SRQ,
x² = 16 × 9
x² = 144
x = √144
x = 12
Therefore, length of altitude RT is 12 units.
Answer:
Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola that costs $2.00 per pound. The walnuts cost $6 per pound. He uses the equation 2x + 6y = 12 to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. He solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy.
Given:
2x + 6y = 12
where
x = number of pounds of granola y = number of pounds of walnuts
The correct solution to the problem
x = 3 pounds
2x + 6y = 12
2(3) + 6y = 12
6 + 6y = 12
Subtract 6 from both sides
6 + 6y - 6 = 12 - 6
6y = 6
Divide both sides by 6
y = 6/6
= 1
y = 1 pound
Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.
