Answer: could you make the question a little clearer
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(C) 2√15
Step-by-step explanation:
Recognize that all the triangles are right triangles, so are similar to each other. In these similar triangles, the ratio of the short side to the long side is the same for all.
... CB/CA = CT/CB
... CB² = CA·CT = 10·6 = 60 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by CA·CB; substitute values
... CB = √60 = 2√15 . . . . . . . take the square root; simplify

<em>Comment on this solution</em>
The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle (CB in this case) divides the hypotenuse into lengths such that the altitude is their geometric mean. That is ...
... CB = √(AC·CT) . . . . as above
This is true for any right triangle — another fact of geometry to put in your list of geometry facts.
Answer:
Formula: (x, -y), when reflecting over the x-axis you keep the x-value the same, but change the sign of the y-value. For example: You have the original coordinates (3, 5), and if you reflect it over the x-axis it’ll be (3, -5).
Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.
