Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +15^2 = 17^2

a^2 +225 = 289

Subtract 225 from each side

a^2 +225-225=289-225

a^2 = 64

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(64)

a = 8

Guys, I’m giving you at least 100 points for you to answer to my angles, triangles, and quadrilaterals word problem homework pac
frez [133]

Step-by-step explanation:

For question 22: Notice the congruent symbol on sides AB and CB; this shows that the triangle is isosceles, and in an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite congruent sides are congruent. Thus, angle A actually equals angle C.

In other the find B, it is know that all of the interior angles of a triangle must add to 180; thus, this can be written as: angle A + angle B + angle C = 180.

Since you already know angles A and C, subtract angle A and angle C from 180 to get angle B.

For question 23:

Notice that triangle DBC is an isosceles triangle, and that angle D and angle C are opposite of congruent sides, indicating that they are equal. Since the interior angles of a triangle must add up to 180, and you know that angle D equals angle C, you can find angle DBC by doing 180 - (2 * angle D).

Now that you have angle DBC, you can find angle CBA; since these two angles form a straight line, you know they must add to 180 degrees. Thus, 180 - angle DBC equals angle CBA.

Now, notice that triangle CBA is also isosceles, and that angles CBA and angle A are opposite congruent sides, indicating that they are also congruent. Thus, angle A equals angle CBA.

Hope this helps :)
