Given: Triangle ABC : triangle ADB. AB =24, AD =16 Find: AC
1 answer:
Answer:
<h2>AC = 36.01</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
Given ΔABC and ΔADB, since both triangles are right angled triangles then the following are true.
From ΔADB, AB² = AD²+BD²
Given AB = 24 and AD = 16
BD² = AB² - AD²
BD² = 24²-16²
BD² = 576-256
BD² = 320
BD =
BD = 17.9
from ΔABC, AC² = AB²+BC²
SInce AC = AD+DC and BC² = BD² + DC² (from ΔBDC )we will have;
(AD+DC)² = AB²+ (BD² + DC²)
Given AD = 16, AB = 24 and BD = 17.9, on substituting
(16+DC)² = 24²+17.9²+ DC²
256+32DC+DC² = 24²+17.9²+ DC²
256+32DC = 24²+17.9²
32DC = 24²+17.9² - 256
32DC = 640.41
DC =
DC = 20.01
Remember that AC = AD+DC
AC = 16+20.01
AC = 36.01

The graph of the linear equation can be seen in the image below.
<h3 /><h3>How to graph the linear equation?</h3>Here we have the linear equation:
y = (2/5)*x - 6
To graph it, we just need to find two points on the line, and then connect them with a line.
To find the points we just evaluate in two values of x.
if x = 0.
y = (2/5)*0 - 6 = -6
Then we have the point (0, -6)
If x = 5.
y = (2/5)*5 - 6 = 2 - 6 = -4
Then we have the point (5, - 4)
Now we can graph these two points and connect them with a line. The graph of the line can be seen below.
