Answer:
BC = 96
Step-by-step explanation:
Since AD is an altitude, then ∠ ADC = 90° , thus
4x + 10 = 90 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
4x = 80 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 20
Thus
BC = BD + DC
= 2x + 3x - 4
= 5x - 4
= 5(20) - 4 = 100 - 4 = 96
X = x4
And
Y = x2
Because of the fact the cows have 4 legs and chickens have 2
Answer:
The answer to your question is c = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
a = 15
j = 24
k = 32
c = ?
Process
Use proportions to solve this problem. Compare the small triangle and the large triangle.
1.- Proportion of the small triangle
c/15
2.- Proportion of the large triangle
k/j
3.- Equal but terms and solve for c
c/15 = k/j
-Substitution
c / 15 = 32/24
c = 32(15)/24
-Result
c = 20
