Answer:

altitude = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the Pythagorean Theorem where you have a right triangle with a base of 8 (half of 16), a hypotenue of 17, and the altitude is 'a'

a² + 8² = 17²

a² + 64 = 289

a² = 225

a = \sqrt{225}

a = 15

Can someone help w number 4

Answer:

angle DFG = 49 degrees

angle JKL = 41 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

When angles are complementary with each other, it means that if you add both of the angles up, it adds up to 90 degrees.

In this question, you would have to add up angle DFG and angle JKL and find the x that makes the equation equal to 90 degrees.

angle DFG = x + 5

angle JKL = x - 3

(x + 5) + (x - 3) = 90

2x + 2 = 90

2x = 90 - 2

2x = 88

x = 44

But since we have to find out the angle measures, we have to the "x = 44" with the x's in the DFG and JKL angles.

DFG = (44) + 5 = 49

JKL = (44) - 3 = 41
