Answer:

AC=8\sqrt{3}\ cm\\ \\AB=16\sqrt{3}\ cm\\ \\BC=24\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider right triangle ADH ( it is right triangle, because CH is the altitude). In this triangle, the hypotenuse AD = 8 cm and the leg DH = 4 cm. If the leg is half of the hypotenuse, then the opposite to this leg angle is equal to 30°.

By the Pythagorean theorem,

AD^2=AH^2+DH^2\\ \\8^2=AH^2+4^2\\ \\AH^2=64-16=48\\ \\AH=\sqrt{48}=4\sqrt{3}\ cm

AL is angle A bisector, then angle A is 60°. Use the angle's bisector property:

\dfrac{CA}{CD}=\dfrac{AH}{HD}\\ \\\dfrac{CA}{CD}=\dfrac{4\sqrt{3}}{4}=\sqrt{3}\Rightarrow CA=\sqrt{3}CD

Consider right triangle CAH.By the Pythagorean theorem,

CA^2=CH^2+AH^2\\ \\(\sqrt{3}CD)^2=(CD+4)^2+(4\sqrt{3})^2\\ \\3CD^2=CD^2+8CD+16+48\\ \\2CD^2-8CD-64=0\\ \\CD^2-4CD-32=0\\ \\D=(-4)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot (-32)=16+128=144\\ \\CD_{1,2}=\dfrac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{144}}{2\cdot 1}=\dfrac{4\pm 12}{2}=-4,\ 8

The length cannot be negative, so CD=8 cm and

CA=\sqrt{3}CD=8\sqrt{3}\ cm

In right triangle ABC, angle B = 90° - 60° = 30°, leg AC is opposite to 30°, and the hypotenuse AB is twice the leg AC. Hence,

AB=2CA=16\sqrt{3}\ cm

By the Pythagorean theorem,

BC^2=AB^2-AC^2\\ \\BC^2=(16\sqrt{3})^2-(8\sqrt{3})^2=256\cdot 3-64\cdot 3=576\\ \\BC=24\ cm

Determine which graph represents a reflection across the x-axis of f(x) = 3(1.5)x.
vivado [14]

The reflection is written as:

g(x) = -3*(1.5)^x

And the graph can be seen below.

<h3>How to get the graph of the reflection?</h3>

Here we have the function:

f(x) = 3*(1.5)^x

A reflection across the x-axis is given by:

g(x) = -f(x).

Then, replacing the function f(x) by the actual equation:

g(x) = -3*(1.5)^x

The graph of the function g(x) can be seen below:
