You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
Answer:
x= -3+√2 or x= -3-√2 ( answer : A and B )
Step-by-step explanation:
hello :
x²+6x+9 = (x+3)².....identity
x²+6x+9 =2 means : (x+3)²=2
so : (x+3 = √2) or (x+3 = - √2)
so two solutions :
x= -3+√2 or x= -3-√2
Answer:
Equation 1 x=-16
Equation 2 m=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1
3x-x=-24-6
2x=-32
x=-32/2
x=-16
Equation 2
-2m=16-10
-2m=6
m=6/-2
m=-3
The Measure of the Missing Angles can be found by this formula: x+y+z= 180°.
You already know the measure of 1 Angle, which is 30°, right?
You also know that this Triangle is a Right Triangle, so the Square for One Angle indicates that the Angle is 90°.
y= 90°, and z= 30°, and you know that the Total Measure of any Triangle is 180° Total.
90°+30° = 120°, and 180°-120°= 60°, so finally, x= 60°, and y=90°, and z= 30°.
