Answer:
Length: x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 8x + 15 = length × width
x² + 8x + 15
x² + 5x + 3x + 15
x(x + 5) + 3(x + 5)
(x + 5)(x + 3)
Width: (x + 3)
Length: (x + 5)
Answer: C. Definition of an Altitude
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In triangle MNO shown below, segment NP is an altitude from the right angle.
Let ∠MNP=x
Then ∠PNO=90°-x
Therefore in triangle MNO,
∠MPN=∠NPO =90° [by definition of Altitude]
[Definition of altitude : A line which passes through a vertex of a triangle, and joins the opposite side forming right angles. ]
Now using angle sum property in ΔMNP
∠MNP+∠MPN+∠PMN=180°
⇒x+90°+∠PMN=180°
⇒∠PMN=180°-90°-x
⇒∠PMN=90°-x
Now, in ΔMNO and ΔPNO
∠PMN=∠PNO=90°-x
and ∠MPN=∠NPO =90° [by definition of altitude]
Therefore by AA similarity postulate, we have
ΔMNO ≈ ΔPNO
Answer:
Mean
Step-by-step explanation:
I said mean because it would allow both Carl and Tamera to average their scores and compare one side by side rather than comparing 6 each which would just be time consuming and it seems like it wouldn't be any other choices.
