Answer:

Given: A right triangle in which an altitude is drawn from the right angle vertex to the hypotenuse.

To find: 'x' the larger leg of triangle

Solution,

Using let rule for similarity in right triangle:

$\frac{leg}{part} = \frac{hypotenuse}{leg} \\ or \: \frac{x}{27} = \frac{3 + 27}{x} \\ or \: x \times x = 27(3 + 27) \\ or \: x \times x = 81 + 729 \\ or \: {x}^{2} = 810 \\ or \: {x}^{2} = 81 \times 10 \\ or \: {x} = \sqrt{81 \times 10} \\ or \: x = \sqrt{81} \times \sqrt{10} \\ or \: x = \sqrt{ {(9)}^{2} } \times \sqrt{10} \\ \: x = 9 \sqrt{10}$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

What is the perimeter of the triangle

KengaRu [80]

The perimeter of the triangle is 40 units

<h3>Perimeter of a triangle</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the perimeter of the given triangle

From the given diagram, we can observe that the triangle is a right triangle

The vertical length of the triangle is 15 units

and the horizontal length of the triangle is 8 units

Thus,

We can find the hypotenuse by using the<em> Pythagorean theorem </em>

Let the hypotenuse be h

Then,

h² = 15² + 8²

h² = 225 + 64

h² = 289

h = √289

h = 17 units

Now, for the perimeter of the triangle

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all its three sides

Thus,

The perimeter. P, of the triangle is

P = 15 + 8 + 17

P = 40 units

Hence, the perimeter of the triangle is 40 units

<Q and <R are complementary angles. If m<Q = (31 - 3x)° and m<R = (19x - 5)°, find m<R

Sergio [31]

31-3x+19x-5=90

26+16x=90

-26 -26

--------------------

16x= 64

16x/16= 64/16

x=4

m <R=19 (4)-5= 71.

On Halloween, a man presents a child with a bowl containing eight different pieces of candy. He tells her that she may have thre

likoan [24]

Answer:

$56$ choices

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we'll have to solve this problem with a permutation or a combination, but which one do we use? The answer is a combination because the order in which the child picks the candy <u><em>does not</em></u> matter.

To further demonstrate this, imagine I have 4 pieces of candy labeled A, B, C, and D. I could choose A, then C, then B or I could choose C, then B, then A, but in the end, I still have the same pieces, regardless of what order I pick them in. I hope that helps to understand why this problem will be solved with a combination.

Anyways, back to the solving! Remember that the combination formula is

$_nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$ , where n is the number of objects in the sample (the number of objects you choose from) and r is the number of objects that are to be chosen.
