the length of BD.

Step-by-step explanation:

the altitude makes a right angle at hypotenuse

cd^2+ ad^2 = ac^2

36+ (h/5)^2 = ac^2

ad/ab = 1/5; ad/h = 1/5; ad=h/5

similarly

bd^2+cd^2 = bc^2

(4/5)^2+ 36 = bc^2

ac^2+bc^2 = ab^2

36+h^2/25+ 16/25h^2+36 = h^2

h= 15

bd/ab = 4/5

bd= .8*15=12

A different number can be placed in each box to make the number sentences
goblinko [34]
I’m not sure but one of the numbers could be 1 and the other could be 0.5. These are possible answers that could go in the boxes. I got this because I knew that I had to get a number that’s less than 10. So when you do 8+1 you get 9 which is less than 10. I picked 0.5 because it said in the question we can’t pick the same number so I picked a decimal. When you do 8+0.5 you get 8.5 which is less than 10.
Hope this helped

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

it's inverse is:

f(x)^-1 = (x+10)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= 2x -10

y= 2x -10 [ let f(x) be y]

interchange value of x and y

x=2y -10

(x+10) = 2y

y=(x+10)/2

f(x)^-1 = (x+10)/2
