Answer:
(C) 2√15
Step-by-step explanation:
Recognize that all the triangles are right triangles, so are similar to each other. In these similar triangles, the ratio of the short side to the long side is the same for all.
... CB/CA = CT/CB
... CB² = CA·CT = 10·6 = 60 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by CA·CB; substitute values
... CB = √60 = 2√15 . . . . . . . take the square root; simplify

<em>Comment on this solution</em>
The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle (CB in this case) divides the hypotenuse into lengths such that the altitude is their geometric mean. That is ...
... CB = √(AC·CT) . . . . as above
This is true for any right triangle — another fact of geometry to put in your list of geometry facts.
8/x + 2 is equal to 8/4 + 2.
8/4 = 2
2 + 2 = 4
ANSWER: 4
Answer:
-a(a+4)/(16 - a²)
Step-by-step explanation:
a/(a - 4) Multiply by (a + 4)/(a + 4)
= a(a + 4)/[(a – 4)(a + 4)] Multiply the denominatorator terms
= a(a + 4)/(a² - 16) Multiply by -1/(-1)
= -a(a+4)/(-a² + 16) Reorder terms in denominator
= -a(a+4)/(16 - a²)
Answer:
x is 0
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract the number 3 5 and 8 then combine like terms and 8 on both sides of the equation then simplify after that divide both sides of the equation by the same term then simplify
Answer:
skew.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines e and c are skew lines.
<u>Reason:</u>
They do not intersect with each other.
They are in different planes.
They are nor parallel to one another....
