1. As you can see in the figure attached, the <span> line "t" is the perpendicular bisector of JK, and divides the triangle in two equal right triangles. This means that both triangles are congruent. Therefore, both have equal dimensions. Keeping this on mind, you have the followiig:
2. Both triangles are congruents, then:
GK=GJ
3. So if the lenght GK is 8.25, the length GJ has the same length:
GJ=8.25
4. Therefore, the answer is:
GJ=8.25</span>
Answer:
i don't know the answer. Anyone dat knows the answer should comment
<span>This one is hard to explain in print. Let x be the side of the rectangle on the hypotenuse and y be the other side. There is a triangle formed at the right angle of the original which is similar to the original.
So x is to 10 as z is to 8: x/10 = z/8
and z = 4/5 x
The upper part of that leg would be 8 - 4/5 x
The triangle at the top is also similar:
So y is to 6 as (8 - 4/5 x) is to 10: y/6 = (8-4/5 x)/10
and y = 3/5 (8- 4/5 x) = 24/5 - 12/25 x
Now area = xy
Deriv = 0 and solve </span>
Answer:
12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the two triangles are similar:
