All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of (long leg)/(short leg) is the same. The long leg of ΔADB is
.. AD = AC -DC = 20 -4
.. AD = 16
Then
.. (long leg)/(short leg) = AD/DB = BD/DC
.. 16/h = h/4
.. h^2 = 64
.. h = 8
Selection D is appropriate.
_____
You may see this again. The altitude (h) from the right angle in a right triangle is the geometric mean of segments AD and DC. That is,
.. h = √((AD)*(DC))
Answer:
-7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
var y/ var x
5 to -2 is variation y ----> -7
-3 to 3 is variation x ---> 6
Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will multiply 5 by 28 to find out the total number of ages in the room.
5 * 28 = 140
Now, we will multiply 6 by 29 to find out the total number of ages in the room after the new person comes in.
6 * 29 = 174
Now, in order for us to find the age of the new person, then we will subtract 140 from 174.
174 - 140 = 34
So, the person that entered the room is 34 years old.
