The altitude of the right triangle is the geometric mean of the 2 parts of the side it separates.
a. The answer would be sqrt(18*32)=24
The question to the second question can be answered by using the Pythagorean theorem.
32^2+24^2=1600=40^2
b. The answer would be sqrt40^2=40
It is 14 because if you have -1/2x + 1 = -x + 8 you would combine the multiplied terms into a single fraction then subtract the one from both sides simplify till you get -x/2 = -x + 7 then you will add like terms so the x’s then you multiply all terms by two like 2(-x/2)= 2•7 then you can get 14.
