The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem in triangle ABC
</span>AC²=AB²+BC²----------> AB²=AC²-BC²---------> 10²-8²-------> AB²=36-----> AB=6

in the triangle ABC
tan a=BC/AB--------> 8/6--------> tan a=4/3
tan c=AB/BC--------> 6/8--------> tan c=3/4

in the triangle ABD
tan a=BD/AD---------> tan a=BD/x-------> BD=x*tan a
BD=x*(4/3)-----------> equation 1

in the triangle BDC
tan c=BD/DC------------------> BD=(10-x)*tan c------> BD=(10-x)*(3/4)
BD=(10-x)*(3/4)-------------> equation 2

equal 1 and 2
x*(4/3)=(10-x)*(3/4)------> 16x=9*(10-x)--------> 16x=90-9x----> 25x=90
x=90/25-----------> x=3.6
BD=x*(4/3)--------> BD=3.6*(4/3)---------->  BD=4.8 units

the answer is BD=4.8 units

11.66 or 12

Step-by-step explanation:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

19^2 = 15^2 + b^2

361 = 225 + b^2

361 - 225 = b^2

136 = b^2

(square root of both sides)

b = 11.66or 12

MULTIPLE CHOICE<br> What is LM?<br> 3x + 5<br> 4x + 7<br> LN = 33 cm
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

C. 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Add LM and MN

(3x + 5) + (4x + 7)

(4x + 3x) + (5 + 7)

7x + 12

As we know the total is 33

So,

7x + 12 = 33

Subtract 12 from 33, which gives me 21

Now,

7x = 21

To make x alone, divide both sides by 7, and then we will get x = 3

If x = 3

LM = 3x + 5

= (3*3) + 5

= 9 + 5

= 14
