The three missing lengths are the left hypotenuse, x, the middle altitude, y, and the right hypotenuse, z.
9/y = y/16
y^2 = 9 * 16
y^2 = 144
y = 12
9^2 + 12^2 = x^2
x^2 = 225
x = 15
12^2 + 16^2 = z^2
z^2 = 400
z = 20
From left to right, the sides measure 15, 12, and 20 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of 
is negative whereas the product of 
<span>A) The constant is 7.5. FALSE. 7.5 is a coefficient, not a constant.
</span><span>B) The coefficients are 7.5 and -9. FALSE. The coefficients are 7.5, -1/9 and 2. 50, being a constant, could be regarded as a coefficient in this case.
</span><span>C) The variables are x and y. FALSE. There are three variables: x, y and z.
</span><span>D) The like terms are 7.5y and 2y. TRUE. The variable (y) is the same in each term.</span><span>
