Answer:
x = √(w(w+z))
Step-by-step explanation:
The idea with a right-triangle figure of this sort is that all of the triangles are similar. Here, x is the short side of ∆ABC, and the hypotenuse of ∆BDC. This suggests you want to write a similarity statement involving the short side and hypotenuse.
BC/AC = DC/BC . . . . . short side/hypotenuse
BC² = AC·DC . . . . . . cross multiply
x² = (w+z)w . . . . . . substitute letter values
Taking the square root and rearranging to the form of the applicable answer choice, this is ...

A cross section is the two dimensional shape that is created when a slice is made through a solid figure by an intersection of a plane and the solid body.
A square pyramid is a pyramid with a square base.
Case 1: When the plane intersects the square pyramid at an angle perpendicular to the base but not through the vertex. In this case a trapezoid is formed.
Case 2: When the plane intersects the square pyramid at an angle perpendicular to the base and through the vertex. In this case a triangle is formed.
Case 3: When the plane intersects the square pyramid at an angle parallel to the base. In this case a square is formed.
<span>Therefore, a
cross section made by the intersection of a plane and a square
pyramid at an angle either parallel or perpendicular to the base can be of shapes:
-square
-triangle
-trapezoid</span>
Answer:
Hyperbola
Step-by-step explanation:
Its just like a parabola, but with 2 equal cones making them on opposite sides.
( y - 4 ) ( y² + 4 y + 16 ) =
= y³ + 4 y² + 16 y - 4 y² - 16 y - 64 = y³ - 64
If the result is the polynomial of the form:
y³ + 4 y² + a y - 4 y² - a y - 64
a = 16
