Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:By AA similarity postulate

△ADB∼△ABC∼△BDC

therefore the sides of the triangles are proportional, in particular

ADAB=ABAC ACBC=BCDC

By algebra we have the following equations

AD⋅AC=AB⋅ABAC⋅DC=BC⋅BC

this is the same as

AD⋅AC=AB2AC⋅DC=BC2

"Equals added to equals are equal" allows us to add the equations

AD⋅AC+AC⋅DC=AB2+BC2

By distributive property

AC(AD+DC)=AB2+BC2

but by construction AD+DC=AC.

Substituting we have

AC⋅AC=AB2+BC2

this is equivalent to

AB2+BC2=AC2

which is what we wanted to prove

What is the value of f if f + I-3 11/12 = 18
astra-53 [7]
Solve for f:(i - 47/12) + f = 18
(i - 47/12) + f = f + (-47/12 + i):
f + (-47/12 + i) = 18
Subtract -47/12 + i from both sides:
Answer:  f = 263/12 - i
