Answer:

9 = x (assuming 15 is the hypotenuse)

Step-by-step explanation:

15^2 = 12^2 + x^2

225 = 144 + x^2

subtract 144 from both sides

81 = x^2

square root both sides

9 = x

Help!!<br> What is the relationship between the corresponding angle bisectors BD and XZ?

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

XZ = 2.5 BD

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the two triangles,

$\frac{BD}{BC}$ = $\frac{XZ}{XY}$

$\frac{6}{8}$ = $\frac{XZ}{20}$

⇒ XZ = $\frac{20*6}{8}$

= 15

XZ = 15

So that,

BD:XZ = 6:15

= 1:2.5

Therefore, the relationship between BD and XZ is XZ = 2.5 BD.

$x=0=>0^{5} +32 = ( 0 +2 ) ^ 5$

P/s: $0^5+32=32 , (0+2)^5=2^5 =32$

$x=-2=> (-2)^5 + 32 = ( -2 +2 )^5$

P/s: $(-2)^5 +32 = -32+32=0, (-2+2)^5=0^5=0$

ok done. Thank to me :>
