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

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The cost of each cotton candy bag is $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let, the vendor has x dollar at the starting of each day.

Let, the cost of each cotton candy bag is y.

Now when she sells a total of 12 bags, she has $128.

x+12y=128  .....(1)

After she sells a total of 20 bags, she has $160.

x+20y=160  ....(2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2.

(x+20y)-(x+12y)=160-128

8y=32

y=4

Hence, the cost of each cotton candy bag is $4.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

U₂₁ and U₂₂ fits in the line of upper triangular

Step-by-step explanation:

As explain in the question

An upper triangular matric is square matrix with all zeros below its daignal. A lower triangular matrix is a square matrix with all zeros above its diagonal.

(as shown in the attached image)

(a)for all 3×3 upper triangular matirices U, verify that U2 is also upper triangular

for a matrices U (having a 3*3 matrix), assuming for example, U is given below:

U = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&3\\0&5&6\\0&0&9\end{array}\right]

the element in the upper triangular are 1,2,3,5,6,9 (U₁₁, U₁₂, U₁₃; , U₂₂, U₂₃, U₂₂)

while lower triangular are 0,0,0, the element in the lower triangular are (U₂₁, U₃₁,U₃₂)

U₂₁ and U₂₂ fits in the line of upper triangular
