<h3>Answer:  12 inches</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Notice the double tickmarks on segments WZ and ZY. This tells us the two segments are the same length. Let's say they are m units long, where m is a placeholder for a positive number.

That would mean m+m = 2m represents the length of segment WY, but that's equal to 10 as the diagram shows. We have 2m = 10 lead to m = 5 after dividing both sides by 2.

We've shown that WZ and ZY are 5 units long each. In short, we just cut that length of 10 in half.

-----------------------------------

Let's focus on triangle XYZ. This is a right triangle with legs XZ = unknown and ZY = 5. The hypotenuse is XY = 13.

We'll use the pythagorean theorem to find XZ

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(XZ)^2 + (ZY)^2 = (XY)^2

(XZ)^2 + (5)^2 = (13)^2

(XZ)^2 + 25 = 169

(XZ)^2 = 169-25

(XZ)^2 = 144

XZ = sqrt(144)

XZ = 12

Segment XZ is 12 inches long.

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72 what is the smallest of the numbers
mylen [45]

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

the first number = x

the second number = x+1

the third number = x+1+1 = x+2

Question wise,

x+x+1+x+2 = 72

3x+3 = 72

3x = 72-3 = 69

x = 69/3 = 23

so the numbers are,

23,(23+1)=24 and (23+2)=25

If x^2 = 16(5), then x =
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

4\sqrt{5} or 8.944

Step-by-step explanation:

x^{2} = 16(5)

Simplify

x^{2} =80

Square root both sides to get x by itself

\sqrt{x^{2} } =\sqrt{80}

4\sqrt{5} or 8.944

Pls help it is due very soon.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is sqrt(a^2 + b^ 2) = c, so:

sqrt(22^2 + 8^2) = c

sqrt(548) = c

23.41 = c
