The side lengths of the following right triangle 15,20 and 25, as shown below. The altitude from the right angle splits the hypo

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$h = 12$

$x = 9$

$y= 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find h, x and y

Let the base of the triangle be 15.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 15 * 20$

$i.e\ height = 20$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 300$

$A = 150$

Let the base of the triangle be 25.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25 * h$

$i.e\ height = h$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25h$

Substitute $A = 150$

$\frac{1}{2}*25h = 150$

Solve for h

$h = \frac{150 *2}{25}$

$h = 6 *2$

$h = 12$

Considering the smallest triangle

$Hypotenuse = 15$

So:

$15^2 = h^2 + x^2$

$15^2 = 12^2 + x^2$

This gives:

$15^2 - 12^2 = x^2$

$81 = x^2$

Take square roots

$9 =x$

$x = 9$

Solving for y

$x + y = 25$

$y= 25 - x$

$y= 25 - 9$

$y= 16$

Samples of a cast aluminum part are classified on the basis of surface finish (in microinches) and edge finish. The results of 1

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) P (A)= 88/102= 0.8627

(b) P (B)= 89/102= 0.8725

c) P (A`) = 14/102 = 0.1372

(d) P (A∩B) = 84/102 =0.8235

(e) P(AUB)= 93/102 = 0.9117

(f)P (A`UB) = 98/102= 0.96078

Step-by-step explanation:

edge

finish excellent good Total

(A )surface finish excellent 84 4 88

good ( B) ⇵ 5 9 14

Total 89 13 102

a) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A right-parenthesis equals

P (A)= 88/102= 0.8627

All the elements of set A = 84+4= 88

(b) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper B right-parenthesis equals

P (B)= 89/102= 0.8725

All the elements of set B = 84+5= 89

c) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A prime right-parenthesis equal

P (A`) = 14/102 = 0.1372

All the elements of Universal set U which are not elements of set A = 102- 88= 14

(d) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A intersection Upper B right-parenthesis equals

P (A∩B) = 84/102 =0.8235

Only those elements of set A and set B which are common

(e) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A union Upper B right-parenthesis equals

P(AUB)= 93/102 = 0.9117

Totalling elements of set A and B= 88+5= 93

(f) Upper P left-parenthesis Upper A prime union Upper B right-parenthesis equals

P (A`UB) = 98/102= 0.96078

All the elements of Universal set U which are not elements of set A and the elements of Set B = 5+9+ 84= 98

If ABC and EDC are similar, what is the value of x? A

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

BC/DC = EC/AC , substitute values

3x×5/32 - 5x-5/56 ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15
