Answer:

4.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See comment for complete question</em>

Represent the larger triangle with 1 and the smaller with 2.

So, we have:

$H_1 =6\ in$ -- height of 1

Required

Determine H2 --- Height of 2

To do this we apply dilation formula.

$Original * Scale\ Factor = New$

In this case:

$H_1 * Scale\ Factor = H_2$

Substitute 6 for H1 and 0.8 for Scale Factor

$6* 0.8 = H_2$

$4.8= H_2$

Hence, the height of the smaller triangle is 4.8 inches

MrRa [10]

You would just plug the values into the slope-intercept formula which is y=mx+b. m is representative of the slope, and b is representative of the y-intercept. The equation would be y=-9x+5

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$ Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}$

Substitutethe values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b^2=10^2-p^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bf b={\sqrt {36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b=6$

$\therefore$ $\overline{BC}=6cm$

BD=BC+CD

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=9+6$

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=15cm$

Now in $\triangle ABD$

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}$

Substitute the values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h^2=8^2+15^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {289}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h=17cm$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}$

In 3 years, Dianna will be 4 times as old as she was 33 years ago. How old is Dianna now? Choose the most logical value for the

Masteriza [31]

<span>Today's age = x

4(x - 33) = x + 3
4x - 132 = x + 3
4x - x = 3 + 132
3x = 135
x = 135/3
x = 45

Answer:
Dianna is 45 years old now.
