What is the length of DF? Round to the nearest hundredth.

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

The x-intercepts of a quadratic function are −3 and 5. What is the equation of its axis of symmetry?
Reil [10]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the axis of symmetry is exactly halfway between the x-intercepts.  Find the average of -3 and 5 to obtain this x-value:  It is:

                         -3 + 5

x - intercept = ------------  =  x = 1

                              2

A parallelogram gas an area of 4 feet squared and a base length of 8 in. What is the height of the parellelogram
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a parallelogram is b × h, so we can use this to find the missing value.

b × h = a

8 × h = 4

÷ 8 ÷ 8

h = 0.5

To check:

8 × 0.5 = 4, which is correct.
