<u>Given</u>:
Given that the figure of similar triangles.
The altitude of the triangle is x.
The length of the left part is 30.
The length of the right part is 15.
We need to determine the value of x.
<u>Value of x:</u>
The value of x can be determined using the geometric mean theorem.
Thus, we have;
Substituting the values, we have;
Cross multiplying, we get;
Taking square root on both sides, we have;
Thus, the value of x is 15√2
Answer:
It is the second triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because the area of the square is given as 25^2 as the perpendicular, 144^2 as the base, and the hypotenuse is 169^2.
Length of the perpendicular = 5^2 (Because 25^2 / 5^2)
Length of the base = 12^2
Length of the hypotenuse = 13^2
So, the Pythagoras theorem is,
=>
=>
This is true, because, 13*13 = 12*12 + 5*5
=> 169 = 144 + 25
=> 169 = 169
