Answer:
(C) 2√15
Step-by-step explanation:
Recognize that all the triangles are right triangles, so are similar to each other. In these similar triangles, the ratio of the short side to the long side is the same for all.
... CB/CA = CT/CB
... CB² = CA·CT = 10·6 = 60 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by CA·CB; substitute values
... CB = √60 = 2√15 . . . . . . . take the square root; simplify
_____
<em>Comment on this solution</em>
The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle (CB in this case) divides the hypotenuse into lengths such that the altitude is their geometric mean. That is ...
... CB = √(AC·CT) . . . . as above
This is true for any right triangle — another fact of geometry to put in your list of geometry facts.
D is the answer hope this helps
Answer:
$7.85
Step-by-step explanation:
2 pizzas at 11.99=23.98
4 soft drinks at 1.85=$7.40
23.98+7.40=31.38
31.38/4=7.845
Each friend pays $7.845, or $7.85 .........
Answer:
2x^2+4x-16
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic can be written as
f(x) = a(x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the roots
f(x) = a (x-2)(x- -4)
a is the leading coefficient
f(x) = 2(x-2)(x+4)
= 2(x^2 -2x+4x-8)
= 2(x^2 +2x-8)
= 2x^2 +4x-16
