First find the value or (DEA)
For this you will have to use the Pythagorean theory,

C is mainly the hypotenuse,
Meaning you either want to find A or B,
Since the hypotenuse has two segments, both values are 10, then just add them together making it 20,
Then 16 will be A or B, in this case it will be A,
To find a you must first move A to the other side by doing the opposite,

Now plug in the values,



Now just find the square root of both factors,

The value of (DEA) is,

Now we want to find (d)
Since 12 is the value of the base, then divide it 2 to find (DE), after just repeat the whole process but with the value of hypotenuse 10 instead of 20 since we want to find the smaller triangle,

Now plug in the value



Now find the square root of both factors,


The value of (d) is (8)
Hope this helped
:D
Ok. 50 soda bottles are made in 2 minutes. We need to know how many could be made in 1. Dividing 2 by 2 gives us one minute. So if we divide 50 by 2, keeping the ratio the same, gives us 25. Thus, 25 bottles can be made in 1 minute. Hope that helps!!!
things were not as complicated when I was in middle school.
True
The two shorter lengths do not add up to more than the longest length. 3+3 is less than 9. Therefore, even if the two shorter lengths lay on top of the longer side, the two ends cannot meet to form a closed 3 sided figure
