The side lengths of the following right triangle 15,20 and 25, as shown below. The altitude from the right angle splits the hypo

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$h = 12$

$x = 9$

$y= 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find h, x and y

Let the base of the triangle be 15.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 15 * 20$

$i.e\ height = 20$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 300$

$A = 150$

Let the base of the triangle be 25.

So, the area is:

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25 * h$

$i.e\ height = h$

$A = \frac{1}{2} * 25h$

Substitute $A = 150$

$\frac{1}{2}*25h = 150$

Solve for h

$h = \frac{150 *2}{25}$

$h = 6 *2$

$h = 12$

Considering the smallest triangle

$Hypotenuse = 15$

So:

$15^2 = h^2 + x^2$

$15^2 = 12^2 + x^2$

This gives:

$15^2 - 12^2 = x^2$

$81 = x^2$

Take square roots

$9 =x$

$x = 9$

Solving for y

$x + y = 25$

$y= 25 - x$

$y= 25 - 9$

$y= 16$

Spencer, Jaclyn, and Ayden go shrimping in

larisa [96]

The total pounds of shrimp they catch is 9.625 pounds

<h3>Sum of values and decimals</h3>

Decimal number are numbers that has decimal points. Given the following information;

The total shrimp Spencer catch = 2 pounds

The total shrimp Jaclyn catch = 3.25 pounds

The total shrimp Ayden catch = 4.375 pounds

Determine the total pounds of shrimp they catch

Total shrimp = 2 + 3.25 + 4.375

Total shrimp = 9.625 pounds

Hence the total pounds of shrimp they catch is 9.625 pounds

Please help 50 points!<br> Simplify the expressed

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x^{2} -x-12}{x+4} * \frac{2x^{2}-32 }{x^{2} -8x+16}$ rewrite as multiplication

$\frac{x^{2} +3x-4x-12}{x+4} * \frac{2(x^{2}-16) }{x^{2} -8x+16}$ look to factor

$\frac{x(x+3)-4(x+3)}{x+4} * \frac{2(x-4)(x+4) }{(x-4)^{2}}$ , difference of 2 squares and perfect square

$\frac{(x+3)(x-4)}{x+4} * \frac{2(x-4)(x+4) }{(x-4)^{2}}$ , finish factoring and simplify

2(x+3)
