Answer:

a² + b² = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(a - b) = 4 ← square both sides

(a - b)² = 4²

a² - 2ab + b² = 16 ← substitute ab = 2

a² - 2(2) + b² = 16

a² - 4 + b² = 16 ( add 4 to both sides )

a² + b² = 20

If DE≅EF, CD = v + 45, and CF = 4v, what is the value of v?

irinina [24]

Answer:

<h2>since DE≅EF</h2>

CD=CF (cpct)

$v + 45 = 4v \\ 4v - v = 45 \\ 3v = 45 \\ v = \frac{45}{3} \\ v = 15$

What is an interval scale and what is it used for?

koban [17]

An interval scale has measurements where the difference between values is meaningful. For example, the year 0 doesn’t imply that time didn’t exist. And similarly, a temperature of zero doesn’t mean that temperature doesn’t exist at that point. Arbitrary zeros (and the inability to calculate ratios because of it) are one reason why the ratio scale — which does have meaningful zeros — is sometimes preferred.

Line GJ is tangent to point A at point G. If AI = 5 and IF = 12, find A F.

Drupady [299]

I believe this is how you do it...
AI=5, 5 squared=25
IF=12, 12 squared=144
144+25 (only because line A F is bigger than AI or IF does it add)
A F=169
