Method 1
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
we know that
Solve for a
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the altitude is 
Method 2
we know that
-------> equation A
and
in this problem
--------> equation B
equate equation A and equation B
therefore
the answer is
the length of the altitude is
Answer: Either A or B
Step-by-step explanation:
Both A and B are the same answers, but the main answer should be
c+d=17, 4c+2d =54
C represents the number of cows and D represents the number ducks. The two and fours in front of the variables represents the number of legs the repesctive animal has.
c+d would mean how many animals are in the barn. Feel free to clarify the two same answers
Answer:2
Step-by-step explanation:
We start by multiplying 5 x 2 to get 10 then subtraction to take away 8 from 10 thus giving us the answer of . Hope this helps!
Answer:
16 and 48
Step-by-step explanation:
let the 2 integers be x and 3x ← ratio 1 : 3
Then
3x - x = 32 ← difference between the integers
2x = 32 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 16
and 3x = 3 × 16 = 48
Since magnitude of difference is 32
We can also express the difference as
x - 3x = 32
- 2x = 32 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 16
and 3x = 3 × - 16 = - 48
The 2 integers are 16 and 48 or - 16 and - 48
