Answer:
15.
x = 40/9 = 4 4/9
z = 24/5 = 4 4/5
17.
x = 50
y ≈ 11.5
Step-by-step explanation:
15. Corresponding segments are proportional:
top right side / whole right side = x / 8
5/(5+4) = x/8
x = 8(5/9) = 40/9
x = 4 4/9
__
right side bottom / right side top = z / 6
z = 6(4/5) = 24/5
z = 4 4/5
____
17. The acute angles are complementary:
x = 90 -40 = 50
__
From the Pythagorean theorem:
y = √(15² -9.6²) = √132.84
y ≈ 11.5
Answer:
CE = 21.2
Step-by-step explanation:
CE = CD + DE = 14 + 7.2 = 21.2
Sqrt(80) = Sqrt(16) x sqrt(5)
= 4 x sqrt(5)
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
--------------------------------------
Find Height :
--------------------------------------
3.75 = 1/2 x 2.5 x height
3.75 = 1.25 x height
height = 3.75 ÷ 1.25
height = 3 meters
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The height is 3 meters.
