Explanation:

The altitude CH divides triangle ABC into similar triangles:

ΔABC ~ ΔACH ~ ΔCBH

Angle bisector AL divides the triangle(s) into proportional parts:

BL/BA = CL/CA

HD/HA = CD/CA

Of course, the Pythagorean theorem applies to the sides of each right triangle:

AH^2 +CH^2 = AC^2

DH^2 +AH^2 = AD^2

LC^2 + AC^2 = LA^2

AC^2 +BC^2 = AB^2

And segment lengths sum:

HD +DC = HC

AD +DL = AL

AH +HB = AB

CL +LB = CB

Solving the problem involves picking the relations that let you find something you don't know from the things you do know. You keep going this way until the whole geometry is solved (or, at least, the parts you care about).

___

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find AH right away, since we already know AD and DH.

DH^2 +AH^2 = AD^2

4^2 + AH^2 = 8^2 . . . . . . . substitute known values

AH^2 = 64 -16 = 48 . . . . . . subtract 16

AH = 4√3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

Now, we can use this with the angle bisector relation to tell us how CD and CA are related.

HD/HA = CD/CA

4/(4√3) = CD/CA . . . . . substitute known values

CA = CD·√3 . . . . . . . . . cross multiply and simplify

Using the sum of lengths equation, we have ...

CH = HD +CD

CH = 4 + CD

From the Pythagorean theorem ...

AH^2 +CH^2 = AC^2

(4√3)^2 + (4 +CD)^2 = (CD√3)^2 . . . . . substitute known values

48 + (16 +8·CD +CD^2) = 3·CD^2 . . . . . simplify a bit

2·CD^2 -8·CD -64 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . put the quadratic into standard form

2(CD -8)(CD +4) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

CD = 8 . . . . . only the positive solution is useful here

Now, we know ...

∆ADC is isosceles, so ∠ACH = ∠CAD = ∠DAH = ∠CBA

CH = 8+4 = 12

AC = 8√3 . . . . . = 2·AH

Then by similar triangles, ...

AB = 2·AC = 16√3

BC = AC·√3 = 24

Y=(x-1)^2+2 find the y-intercept
dybincka [34]

Answer:

(0,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

y=(x-1)^2+2

Recall what the y-intercept is. The y-intercept is when the graph crosses the y-axis. Therefore, at that point, the x-value is 0. So, to find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x. Thus:

y=(0-1)^2+2

Subtract:

y=(-1)^2+2

Square:

y=1+2

Add:

y=3

So, the y-intercept is at (0,3).

And we're done!

There is a line that includes the point (6,–10) and has a slope of –9. What is its equation in point-slope form?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

A slope of zero means a horizontal line (parallel to the x axis). So the line is y=-6, which is the y intercept. There is no x term because y=-6 for all x.

Rachael paints a room in 9 hours, Kelsey paints the same room in 15 hours Working together they can paint this room in how many
IrinaVladis [17]

Rachael paints a room in 9 hours, so her work rate is 1/9 of work per hour.

Kelsey paints the same room in 15 hours, so her work rate is 1/15 of work per hour.

Together, their combined work rate is

\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{1}{15}=\dfrac{8}{45}

Which means it will take them 45/8 of a hour to complete the job together.

Find the equation of the line given using point-slope:<br> (5, 4) m= 2
klasskru [66]

Answer:

y=2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}), where (x_{1}, y_{1}) is the point, and m is the slope.

y-4=2(x-5), and not you distribute the 2 to get

y-4=2x-10, and you add 4 to get y by itself

y=2x-6
