The altitude will be the geometric mean of the lengths, so
h=\sqrt{4 \cdot 12}=4\sqrt{3}.  The smaller leg is the hypotenuse of a right triangle sides 4 and 4 \sqrt{3}, so the usual trig cliche, hypotenuse 8.

Answer: 8

Factorise the following quadratic equations ​
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

In 13 - 17

Consider the factors of the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

13

x² - x - 42 = (x - 7)(x + 6)

15

x² + x - 6 = (x + 3)(x - 2)

17

x² - 27x + 50 = (x - 25)(x - 2)

19

r² - 25 ← is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , thus

r² - 25

= r² - 5² = (r - 5)(r + 5)

Aleks [24]

5x and -8x are like terms. 6 is not a variable. 5 is the coefficient of the term 5x. X is not the constant.

noname [10]

Answer:

I can answer the first one the other 2 I can't make out.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly,

1) They are the same since they add one to the row every time

2) They are different because Megan's pattern is that they only count the first column in orange, and Kyle's pattern counts the number of blocks in each row.

3) They have the same number of blocks just in different colors in rows and columns.

I need help. Work has to be shown but i don’t know how to do them
mote1985 [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

1% of 500 is 5 so multiply 5 by 8 for one year. which is 40 so multiply that by 2.

1% of 500 = 5

5 × 8 = 40

40 × 2 = 80

2.

1% of 1000 = 10

10 × 5 = 50

50 × 3 = 150

3.

12 months = 6%

6/12 = 1 month

0.5 = 1 month

0.5 × 9 = 4.5 (the amount of interest for 9 months.)

800 × 4.5% = 36

4.

12 months = 7%

7/12 = 1 month ( i'll leave this in fraction form because of the decimal points.)

7/12 x 8 = 4.666667 or 4.7 rounded.

1200 × 4.7% = 56.40
