Answer:
There is one solution
Step-by-step explanation:
I did the Khan Academy lesson and I got it correct.
See the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
1) First way to find the value of ain the triangle ABC
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
AC</span>²=AB²+BC²--------> BC²=AC²-AB²-----> BC²=25²-15²-----> BC²=625-225
BC²=400--------> BC=20 units
a=BC
a=20 units
2) Second way to find the value of a
in the triangle ABD
AB²=AD²+BD²--------> BD²=AB²-AD²-----> BD²=15²-9²---> BD²=144
BD=12 units
in the triangle BDC
a=BC
BC²=BD²+DC²-----> 12²+16²----> 144+256------> BC²=400
BC=20 units
a=20 units
Answer:
?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
55°
Step-by-step explanation:
if an angle is bisected, it get divided into two equal angles .
so, each resulting angle will be half of the angle which is bisected.
hence, measure of each angle formed is
110° / 2 = 55°
Answer:
8 = y
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find a solution to an algebraic equation such as this one we simply need to isolate the variable. We do this by applying the opposite operation to each side in order to get rid of the other factors and get the variable alone. Like so...
20 = y + 12 ... we need to subtract 12 from both sides to get rid of the 12 on the right side with the variable y.
20 - 12 = y + 12 - 12
8 = y
Finally, we can see that the value of the variable y is 8
