Answer:

y = 8

x = 8√5

z = 4√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula (which is a geometric mean):

a        y

---- = -----

x        a

Where a is the altitude (y), x is a projection (16), and y is the other projection (4):

y        4

---- = -----

16       y

Cross multiply:

y² = 16 (4)

y² = 64

√y² = √64

y = 8

To find x and z, use the Pythagorean Theorem:

16² + y² = x²

256 + 8² = x²

256 + 64 = x²

320 = x²

√320 = √x²

√64√5 = √x²

8√5 = x

x = 8√5

4² + y² = z²

16 + 64 = z²

80 = z²

√80 = √z²

√16√5 = √z²

4√5 = z

z = 4√5

What is the value of the expression 2^2 + 4^2 ÷ 2^2? 3 6 8 16
slamgirl [31]
The answer is 8 because you use the order of operations. So it would be 16 divided by 4, then you would do 4+4 which is 8

Someone help me plz!!

Answer: x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these are supplementary angles, we know that if we add them together we would get 180 deg. so....

(7x-10)+ (6x-5)=180

Kay so now we can combine like terms.

13x-15=180

Now we can add 15 to both sides.

13x=195

Finally Divide 13 on both sides.

X would then now equal 15.
