Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that lines which appear to be tangent are tangent.

Therefor this is a right triangle.

Use the pythagorean theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

15^2 = ?^2 + 9^2

225 = ?^2 + 81

subtract 81 from both sides

144 = ?^2

Take the square root of both sides

12 = ?

Answer:

  ? = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent makes a right angle with the radius at the point of tangency. That means the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the missing length.

  ?² +9² = 12²

  ?² = 225 -81 = 144

  ? = √144 = 12

The value of ? is 12.

<em>Additional comment</em>

When you see a right triangle with the ratio of hypotenuse to leg of 15:9 = 5:3, you know immediately that it is a multiple of a 3:4:5 right triangle. Here, the scale factor is 3, so the missing side is 3×4 = 12.

Base of a prism is a right triangle with legs 3 feet and 4 feet. The height is 13 feet , what is the volume?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Triangular prisms

Remember the formula for calculating volume is: Volume = Area by height. V = A X h.

For a triangle the area is calculated using the formula: Area = half of base by altitude. A = 0.5 X b X a.

So to calculate the volume of a triangular prism, the formula is: V = 0.5 X b X a X h

I NEED ANSWER SUPER BAD PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!What is the greatest integer less than 100 for which the greatest common divisor of tha
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

We will list out the numbers which are factors of 12. They include:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

We need to get the highest number that has its greatest factor to be 4. It means that 6 and 12 cannot divide it.

To do this, we will write out the multiples of 4. They include:

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88,92,96.

We will have to choose the highest number which only 4  can divide and  6 and 12 cannot divide.

Since we are looking for the largest, We can try dividing all the numbers by 4, 6, and 12 starting from 96.

We will quickly see that 4 can divide 92 but 6 and 12 cannot.

This gives us 92 as the answer.
