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:
$126,000
Step-by-step explanation:
16% of 150,000 is 24,000
150,000-24,000=126,000
Answer:
I think its A & B
Two Squares with the same side lengths are always congruent and Two rectangles with the same side lengths are always congruent.
Answer:
yes; 1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The length to width ratios of the rectangles are ...
A: 12/8 = 1.5
B: 15/10 = 1.5
C: 30/15 = 2.0
__
Rectangles A and B have the same aspect ratio, so are similar. Rectangle B is a scaled copy of A with a scale factor of 10/8 = 1.25.
