The length of BC is
.
Solution:
Given ABC is a right triangle.
AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.
AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.
AC = 16 and DC = 5
<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>



Do cross multiplication.



Taking square root on both sides.


square and square roots get canceled, we get

The length of BC is
.
You have to switch the 8 to the left and the y to the right which would change the equation to 9-8=y
y=1
<em>*To solve for a specified variable, you need to isolate that variable onto one side.</em>
<h3>11.</h3>
Firstly, subtract 5r on both sides: 
Lastly, divide both sides by 2 and <u>your answer will be
</u>
<h3>12.</h3>
First, subtract z on both sides of the equation: 
Next, divide both sides by y and <u>your answer will be
</u>
<h3>13.</h3>
Firstly, multiply both sides by b: 
Next, divide both sides by c and <u>your answer will be
</u>
The best thing to do here is to divide $4.85 by 10, and then multiply it by 2.5. $4.85/10= $0.48. $0.48x2.5= $1.20
Therefore,the discount is $1.20, you've then got to subtract this from $4.85. $4.85-$1.20= $3.65
$3.65 is the sale price of the pizza.
Hope this helps :)
