Answer:
y = √55
Step-by-step explanation:
All the triangles are similar, so the ratio of short side to hypotenuse is the same for all:
5/y = y/(5+6)
y^2 = 55
y = √55

<em>Comment on the geometry</em>
There are three "geometric mean" relationships that apply to this geometry.
- the altitude BD is the geometric mean of BC and BA (√30)
- the long side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the longer segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (x = √66)
- the short side of the large triangle is the geometric mean of the shorter segment of the hypotenuse and the whole hypotenuse (y = √55)
If you were aware of the last of these relationships, you could write down the answer without any "work."
y = √(5(5 +6)) = √55
__
The geometric mean is the n-th root of the product of n numbers. When there are 2 numbers, it is the square root of their product.
Your answer is 104 square inches because you have to find the area of the top rectangle by multiplying 12 x 7, then find the area of the bottom square by multiplying 5 x 4, and then add both answers together which equals 104 square centimeters ;)
(Area of 1) + (Area of 2) = (Area of 3) this statement about the squares must be true.
What is Right angle traingle?
A right-angled triangle is a particular kind of triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees. The combined angles of the other two are 90 degrees. The triangle's base and perpendicular sides both include the right angle. The longest of the three sides, known as the hypotenuse, is the third side.
we know that;
By applying the Pythagorean Theorem;
.............................(1)
Area of the square says A1;
A1 = a^2 unit^2 ...............................(2)
Area of the square says A2;
A2 = b^2 unit^2 .................................(3)
Area of the square says A1;
A3 = c^2 unit^2 ..................................(4)
Replace the A1, A2, and A3 values in the equation 1 ;
A3 = A1 + A2
therefore;
(Area of 1) + (Area of 2) = (Area of 3).

Answer:
60.2 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the width of the river. The distance from the point across from the tree to the second point is 15 m. The angle from this point to the tree across the river is 76°.
This makes the side opposite the angle x, the width of the river. It also means the 15 m side is adjacent to this angle.
The ratio opposite/adjacent is the ratio for tangent; this gives us the equation
x/15 = tan(76)
Multiply both sides by 15:
15(x/15) = 15(tan(76))
x = 15(tan(76)) ≈ 60.2
