Hello! :)
Answer:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
An angle bisector divides an angle in half, therefore:
m∠VUW ≅ m∠WUT
Set the expressions equal to each other:
4x + 6 = 6x - 10
Subtract 4x from both sides:
6 = 2x - 10
Add 10 to both sides:
16 = 2x
Divide 2 from both sides:
x = 8.
Substitute in the value of "x" into the equation for ∠WUT:
6(8) - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38°.
now, let's take a peek at the denominators, we have 3 and 8 and 12, we can get an LCD of 24 from that.
Let's multiply both sides by the LCD of 24, to do away with the denominators.
so, let's recall that a whole is "1", namely 500/500 = 1 = whole, or 5/5 = 1 = whole or 24/24 = 1 = whole. So the whole class will yield a fraction of 1/1 or just 1.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Say the short leg is x and the hypotenuse is y. Then, y = 3x (because "The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is three times the length of the shorter leg.")
Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse). Here, we can say a = x and b = 12 and c = y. So:
x^2 + 12^2 = y^2
x^2 + 144 = (3x)^2
x^2 + 144 = 9x^2
8x^2 = 144
x^2 = 18
x =
The answer is D.
Hope this helps!
