Answer: is that all the information in the problem??
Answer:
AH = 1 or 4
CH = 4 or 1
Step-by-step explanation:
An altitude divides a right triangle into similar triangles. That means the sides are in proportion, so ...
AH/BH = BH/CH
AH·CH = BH²
The problem statement tells us AH + CH = AC = 5, so we can write
AH·(5 -AH) = BH²
AH·(5 -AH) = 2² = 4
This gives us the quadratic ...
AH² -5AH +4 = 0 . . . . in standard form
(AH -4)(AH -1) = 0 . . . . factored
This equation has solutions AH = 1 or 4, the values of AH that make the factors be zero. Then CH = 5-AH = 4 or 1.

Answer:
y = 6 + 4x
After 4 years, the tree would be 22 ft tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x = the number of years that pass
Let y = the height of the tree (ft)
We're given that the 6-foot tree grows at a rate of 4 ft per year. This means that the height of the tree will be equal to 6 ft, the original height, plus another 4 ft every year that passes.
Height of tree = 6 feet + 4 feet × number of years that pass
y = 6 + 4x
To solve for how tall the tree would be 4 years after Dina plants it, replace x with 4, since 4 years have passed:
y = 6 + 4(4)
y = 6 + 16
y = 22
Therefore, the tree would be 22 ft tall.
I hope this helps!
Properties of equality have nothing to do with it. The associative and commutative properties of multiplication are used (along with the distributive property and the fact of arithmetic: 9 = 10 - 1).
All of these problems make use of the strategy, "look at what you have before you start work."
1. = (4·5)·(-3) = 20·(-3) = -60 . . . . if you know factors of 60, you can do this any way you like. It is convenient to ignore the sign until the final result.
2. = (2.25·4)·23 = 9·23 = 23·10 -23 = 230 -23 = 207 . . . . multiplication by 4 can clear the fraction in 2 1/4, so we choose to do that first. Multiplication by 9 can be done with a subtraction that is often easier than using ×9 facts.
4. = (2·5)·12·(-1) = 10·12·(-1) = (-1)·120 = -120 . . . . multiplying by 10 is about the easiest, so it is convenient to identify the factors of 10 and use them first. Again, it is convenient to ignore the sign until the end.
5. = 0 . . . . when a factor is zero, the product is zero
