Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AD = 4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vinil7 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

BD = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem:  The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the mean proportional between the segments of the hypotenuse.

So, \frac{4}{BD} = \frac{BD}{9}

BD^{2}  = 36

BD = 6

See how easy that is IF you know the theorem.

(11,11). The first coordinate in a pair is the x coordinate, which tells you how far to move left of right. The second coordinate is the y coordinate, which tells you how much to move up or down. If you’re translating right, you’re going to add to the first number. If you’re translating left, you would subtract it. If you’re translating up, you add to the second number. If you’re translating down, you subtract from the second coordinate.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope or gradient (=-3)

y=-3x+b  

Add your points

The logo on a recycling bin resembles an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 6 centimeters. Approximate the area of the lo
frozen [14]

Answer:

9\sqrt{3} cm² or approximately 15.59 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the area of an equilateral triangle, A = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}a²

Plug in the side length, 6 cm, as a in the formula:

A = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(6²)

A = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}(36)

A = 9\sqrt{3}

So, the area of the logo is 9\sqrt{3} cm² or approximately 15.59 cm²
