Answer:

The answer is b

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the diagram and the paragraph proof below.

Given: Right △ABC as shown where CD is an altitude of the triangle

Prove: a2 + b2 = c2

 Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A C B is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point C to point D on side A B to form a right angle. The length of C B is a, the length of A C is b, the length of A B is c, the length of A D is e, the length of D B is f, and the length of C D is h.

Because △ABC and △CBD both have a right angle, and the same angle B is in both triangles, the triangles must be similar by AA. Likewise, △ABC and △ACD both have a right angle, and the same angle A is in both triangles, so they also must be similar by AA. The proportions StartFraction c Over a EndFraction = StartFraction a Over f EndFraction and StartFraction c Over b EndFraction = StartFraction b Over e EndFraction are true because they are ratios of corresponding parts of similar triangles. The two proportions can be rewritten as a2 = cf and b2 = ce. Adding b2 to both sides of first equation, a2 = cf, results in the equation a2 + b2 = cf + b2. Because b2 and ce are equal, ce can be substituted into the right side of the equation for b2, resulting in the equation a2 + b2 = cf + ce. Applying the converse of the distributive property results in the equation a2 + b2 = c(f + e).

Which is the last sentence of the proof?

Because f + e = 1, a2 + b2 = c2.

Because f + e = c, a2 + b2 = c2.

Because  a2 + b2 = c2, f + e = c.

Because  a2 + b2 = c2, f + e = 1.

X over 85 = 72 over 100
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

X=61.2

Step-by-step explanation:

x/85   =     72/100

x*100/8500           =    6120/8500

x*100 must equal 6120 therefore x must be 61.2 because 61.2 * 100 is 6120

Solve the following equations;-<br><br> x - 9 /√x + 3 =1
fgiga [73]

Answer:

13 , 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

A equation is given to us and we need to find out the value of x . The given equation to us is ,

\sf\implies \dfrac{ x -9}{\sqrt{x+3}}= 1

Cross multiply ,

\sf\implies x - 9 =\sqrt{ x +3}

Squaring both sides ,

\sf\implies (x - 9)^2 = x + 3

Simplify the whole square ,

\sf\implies x^2+9^2-2.9.x = x +3 \\

\sf\implies x^2+81 - 18x = x -3

Add 3 and subtract x on both sides ,

\sf\implies x^2 -18x-x +81-3=0

Simplify ,

\sf\implies x^2 -19x +78=0

Split the middle term of the quadratic equation,

\sf\implies x^2-13x-6x+78=0

Take out common ,

\sf\implies x( x -13)-6(x-13)=0

Take out ( x -13 ) as common ,

\sf\implies ( x -13)(x-6)=0

Equate both factors to 0 ,

\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\sf x = 13,6}}

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>or </u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>.</u>
