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.

Solve for a: -8b+2a=6c
Fantom [35]

Answer:

a=3c+4b

Step-by-step explanation:

-8b + 2a = 6c

(-8b + 2a) + 8b = 6c + 8b

-8b + 2a + 8b = 6c + 8b

-8b + 8b + 2a = 6c + 8b

2a = 6c + 8b

2a/2 = 6c + 8b/2

a = (2x3)c + 2^{3} x b)/2

a = 3c + 4b

Can someone plz help me I’m tryna go to sleep .
schepotkina [342]

Take a warm shower, however you want, dont eat too much before hand, relax your face and don’t think too much about it, dont think much just think “im sleepy im going to sleep”
Incase you don’t want to read all of this


It seems like you’re stressed especially since you’re thinking about it too much to the point you have to use brainly. You’re stressed and need to relax and not think too much, you might be having too much things going around you and or many possibilities. For me I just take a warm shower and just stay and think, probably cry if i have to, without sleep or little you’re going to be anxious and things bother you more and makes sleeping even more harder on top of that

What is the y value in the solution to this system of linear equations?
Travka [436]

Answer:

The y-value is -20

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's solve this by Elimination method;

-2(4x + 5y = -12)

4(2x + 3y = -16)

Let's Distribute;

-8x - 10y = 24

8x + 12y = -64

So x cancels out because -8 + 8 = 0

-10y + 12y = 2y

24 - 64 = -40

2y = -40

Divide both sides by 2;

y = -20

Now lets plug in y to find the value of x;

4x + 5(-20) = -12

4x - 100 = -12

Add 100 to both sides;

4x = 88

Divide both sides by 4;

x = 22
