Answer:

a=5, b=15

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The figure MNLO is a Kite

LO=NO and MN=LM

we have

LO=7a-14, NO=b+6

7a-14=b+6 -----> equation A

MN=b, LM=3a

b=3a -----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for a

7a-14=(3a)+6

7a-3a=6+14

4a=20

a=5

Find the value of b

b=3a ----> b=3(5)=15

therefore

a=5, b=15

In a right triangle ABC, CD is an altitude, such that AD=BC. Find AC, if AB=3 cm, and CD= root 2 cm.

Nata [24]

Given CD is an altitude such that AD=BC , AB=3 cm and CD= √2 cm.

Let AD=x, Since given AB=3

AD+DB=3

x+DB = 3

DB = 3-x

Since ΔBCD is rght angle triangle, let's apply Pythagoras theorem

$BC^{2} = DB^{2} +CD^{2}$

$BC^{2} = (3-x)^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}$

$BC^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2$

Since given AD=BC,let us plugin BC=x in above step.

$x^{2} =(3-x)^{2} +2$

$x^{2} =9-6x+x^{2} +2$

6x=11

x= $\frac{11}{6}$

Now we know AD=x= $\frac{11}{6}$ and given CD=√2.

Let us apply Pythagoras theorem for ΔACD

$AC^{2} =AD^{2} +DC^{2}$

$AC^{2} = (\frac{11}{6} )^{2} +(\sqrt{2} )^{2}$

$AC^{2} =\frac{193}{36}$

$AC=\sqrt{\frac{193}{36} }$ = 2.315cm

Answer:

So basically the answer is where the lines intersect if they do not intersect there is no solution if they are on top of one another it is infinite solutions
