Answer:

7.06

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle can be solved a couple of ways. In the end, they amount to the same thing.

1) The area is ...

A = 1/2bh = 1/2(8)(15) = 60 . . . using DG as the base

Using GE as the base, the height (DF) is ...

A = (1/2)(17)(DF)

2(60)/17 = DF = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

2) Using similar triangles, we can find the ratio of the long side to the hypotenuse as ...

(long side)/(hypotenuse) = DE/GE = DF/DG

DF = DG(DE/GE) = 8(15/17) = 120/17

DF ≈ 7.06

If a+b=5 and a-b=4 then b^2-a^2 =

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

$a + b = 5 \\ a \: = 5 - b \\ a - b = 4 \\ 5 - b - b = 4 \\ 5 - 2b = 4 \\ 5 - 4 = 2b \\ 1 = 2b \\ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2b}{2} \\0.5 = b \\ b = 0.5 \\ a = 5 - b \\ = 5 - 0.5 \\ = 4.5 \\ {a \: }^{2} - {b}^{2} = ( {4.5}^{2}) - ( {0.5}^{2} ) \\ = 20.25 - 0.25 \\ = 20 \\ {a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = 20$
