Answer:
x intercept of CD = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a line AB with its end coordinates. and Another line segment CD which is perpendicular to AB. We have the coordinates of C , and we are asked to find the x intercept of line CD.
For that we need to find the equation of CD
we have coordinates of C , and hence if we have slope of CD we can find equation of CD
Slope of CD can be determine with the help of slope of AB as CD⊥ AB
So, the slope of CD 
Hence we start from determining slope of AB
slope is given as


Hence 
There fore 
(∵ Product of Slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1)
Now we find the equation of CD with the help of slope -1 and coordinates of C(5,12)




Hence we have our equation , now in order to find the x intercept we keep y = 0 in it and solve for x


Hence the x intercept is 17
16 + 36 = 52 so the answer would be A) 4(4 + 9) because that equals 52 as well.
Answer:
1) Yes 2)No
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Yes because the two shorter lines combined are longer than the base and so those two lines are able to make a triangle.
2) No because the two lines on top will be equal to base line and so the two shorter lines will not be able to make a third angle because it will be level with the base.
