The segments formed by the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle are 8 and 10. Find the shorter leg of that triangle.

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the hypothenuse is 10 and the larger leg of the triangle is given as 8, the shorter leg will be calculated as the square of the hypothenuse minus the square of the longer leg after which we find the square root of the value gotten. This will be:

Shorter leg² = 10² - 8²

Shorter leg² = 100 - 64

Shorter leg² = 36

Shorter leg = ✓36

Shorter leg = 6

Which best explains whether or not all isosceles triangles are similar? All isosceles triangles are similar. Two angles within e
Contact [7]
By Angle-Angle  simlilarity postulate :
If two angles of one triangle congruent to two angles of another, then triangles must be similar.
So, I think the answer is
<span>All isosceles triangles are not similar. The pair of congruent angles within one triangle is not necessarily congruent to the pair of congruent angles within the other triangle.

Because two base angles in  </span>isosceles triangle are congruent, but it could be a lot of isosceles triangles that have different  congruent base angles.
 For example,
45-45-90 is an isosceles triangle, and 30-30-120 is an isosceles triangles, but they do not have 2 congruent angles.

Polynomial Equation question<br>(Screenshot included)
Illusion [34]

y = {x}^{3}  - 4 {x}^{2}  - 45x \\ y = x( {x}^{2}  - 4x - 45) \\ y = x(x + 5)(x - 9) \\ x = 0, - 5,9
So, to find our x-intercepts, y must be zero
0 = x \\  \\ 0 = (x + 5) \\  - 5 = x \\  \\ 0 = (x - 9) \\ 9 = x
ANSWER: (0,0) (-5.0) (9,0) are your x-intercepts

Tamiku [17]

by pythagorean formula, the last side is √(61)

by cos rule

cos A

=  \frac{ {6}^{2}  + 61 -  {5}^{2} }{2 \times 6 \times  \sqrt{61} }  \\  =  \frac{72}{12 \sqrt{61} }   \\  =  \frac{6}{ \sqrt{61} }

A = 39.81
