Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle create two smaller triangles, all of which are similar to the original. This means corresponding sides are proportional.
3. Using the above relationship, ...
short-side/hypotenuse = 8/y = y/(8+23)
y^2 = 8·31
y = 2√62
__
long-side/hypotenuse = z/(8+23) = 23/z
z^2 = 23·31
z = √713
__
short-side/long-side = 8/x = x/23
x^2 = 8·23
x = 2√46
_____
4. The picture is fuzzy, but we think the lengths are 25 and 5. If they're something else, use the appropriate numbers. Using the same relations we used for problem 3,
y = √(5·25) = 5√5 . . . . . . . = √(short segment × hypotenuse)
z = √(20·25) = 10√5 . . . . . = √(long segment × hypotenuse)
x = √(5·20) = 10 . . . . . . . . . = √(short segment × long segment)

Answer:
2. Judy =$5
Ben= $4
Step-by-step explanation:
2. Let Judy = x and Ben = y
8x + 10y = 80
9x + 5y = 65
Solve these simultaneous equations.
8
x + 10
y = 80
18
x + 10
y = 130
Take the second equation away from the first equation
−
10
x = −
50
x = 5
This means that Judy gets paid $5 an hour.
Therefore, Ben gets paid $4 an hour.
Answer:
3. 24 quarters and 16 dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
3. Let the number of dimes = x and the number of quarters = y
Value Value
Type Number of of
of of EACH ALL
coin coins coin coins
-------------------------------------------
dimes x $0.10 $0.10x
quarters y $0.25 $0.25y
-------------------------------------------
TOTALS 40 $7.60
x + y = 40
0.10x + 0.25y = 7.60
Get rid of decimals by multiplying every term by 100:
10x + 25y = 760
So we have the system of equations:
x + y = 40
10x + 25y = 760
We solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y:
x + y = 40
y = 40 - x
Substitute (40 - x) for y in 10x + 25y = 760
10x + 25(40 - x) = 760
10x + 1000 - 25x = 760
-15x + 1000 = 760
-15x = -240
x = 16 = the number of dimes.
Substitute in y = 40 - x
y = 40 - (16)
y = 24 quarters.
$1.60 + $6.00 = $7.60
I hope that helped, sorry for taking so long :-)
