Apply the means-extremes property of proportions: this allows you to cross multiply:
Apply the distributive property:
Add 24 to both sides:
Substract 3x to both sides
<h3><u>Answer</u>. The value of x = 24.</h3>
Answer:
1a. 8
1b. AB & BC
1c. AC
2. miles
3. NO
Step-by-step explanation:
1a. AC is your hypotenuse which is C² and BC is B², so we plug it in the equation.
A²+6²=10²
A²+36=100
A²=64
A=
A=8
1b. Legs are the two shorter sides, AB & BC, which are 6 & 8 respectively.
1c. The hypotenuse is the longest side AC
2. Make lines that make the graph for a triangle with a line. My graph is linked below. Then counts the points, AC=6, BC=4, then use the pythagorean therom.
6²+4²=X²
36+16=52
=X
3. 15²+17²=19²
514=361
not possible
so it is not a right triangle
