<u>Given</u>:
The given triangle is a similar triangle.
The length of the hypotenuse is 18 units.
The length of the leg is a.
The length of the part of the hypotenuse is 16 units.
We need to determine the proportion used to find the value of a.
<u>Proportion to find the value of a:</u>
We shall find the proportion to determine the value of a using the geometric mean leg rule.
Applying the leg rule, we have;
Substituting the values of hypotenuse, leg and part, we get;
Thus, the proportion used to find the value of a is
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
44-6=38/2=19+6=25+19=44
The numbers are 19 and 25
I haven't done this kind of work in a bit, but I believe it's 8.
The correct question is
<span>Michael sold 2/3 of his CDs and purchased 16 more. If Michael has 25 CDs now, how many CDs did he have to begin with?
Let
x--------------> numbers of CDs Michael have to begin
if Michael sold (2/3)x-----------> </span><span>are pending to sell (1/3)x
we know that
(1/3)x+16=25--------> </span>(1/3)x=25-16-------> (1/3)x=9---------> x=27
the answer is 27 CDs
