To find the length of the altitude, we have to use the ratios of the similar sides.
Let the length of altitude=x
Ratio of sides:
\frac{x}{3} = \frac{27}{x}  \\
Cross \ multiply \\
 x^{2} =81 \\
Take \ square \ root.\\
 \sqrt{x^2}= \sqrt{81} \\
x=9 \\
So length of altitude is 9 cm.

Answer: 9 cm

The world record for the men’s 10000 meters was 26 minutes 17.53 seconds held by kenenisa bekele of Ethiopia. What was his avera
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

6.33 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The world record for the men’s 10000 meters was 26 minutes 17.53 seconds.

Distance = 10000 m

Time, t = 26 minutes 17.53 seconds = 1577.53 s

We need to find the average speed throughout the race. It is equal to total distance divided by total time taken.

v=\dfrac{10000\ m}{1577.53\ s}\\\\=6.33\ m/s

So, the average speed is 6.33 m/s.

Hey! I need help with these two (not just one, both) as soon as possible!
torisob [31]

Answer:

1. 1/2(x - 3)³

2. 3x/y²

Step-by-step explanation:

1. to simplify, we could just FOIL the equations out, but since this is a division, we can cancel out any common factors in the numerator and the denominator to make it easier

2(x - 3)³

----------

4(x- 3)^6

what do these two have in common? both have a (x - 3)³ to start off, so we can cancel out the (x - 3)³ in the numerator, and take the diference in the denominator which gives us (x - 3)³

2(x - 3)³ / (x - 3)³ = 2

4(x - 3)^6 / (x - 3)³ = 4(x - 3)³

so now we have:

2

-----

4(x - 3)³

we can simplify 2/4 and get 1/2 so now we have the following:

 1

--------

2(x - 3)³

there is nothing else to simplify, so this is the final answer

2. to solve 8x/y² - 5x/y², we see they both have <em>like denominators</em>, this means that we can just combine the terms over one denominator and we get the following:

8x - 5x

----------

   y²

we can subtract 5x from 8x because both have an x in them and are therefore able to be subtracted

8x - 5x = 3

so the final answer is 3x/y²
