Answer:
Rearrange the equations that result from use of the Pythagorean theorem.
Step-by-step explanation:
Transversal AB crossing parallel lines AD and BC makes supplementary interior same-side angles A and B. Since A = 90°, B must be 90°. The Pythagorean theorem then applies in the right triangles ABC and ABD.
We can use that theorem to write two expressions for AB^2:
BD^2 -AD^2 = AB^2 = AC^2 -BC^2
The middle expression, AB^2, isn't needed beyond this point. Adding (AD^2 -AC^2) to both sides of the equation gives the desired result:
BD^2 -AC^2 = AD^2 -BC^2
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines are parallel, so they have the same slope.
The red lines has a slope of 2/5
The green line has a slope of 2/5
Answer:
4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the height of the tower when finished.
We have been given that Priya takes a break when the tower is 2 and 1/2 feet tall, which is 5/8 of the height of the tower she wants to build.
This means that 5/8 of x equals 2 and 1/2. Let us represent this information in an equation.
5/8*x=2 and 1/2
Let us convert our given mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
5/8*x=5/2
Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 8/5.
8/5*5/8*x=5/2*8/5
x=8/2
x=4
