Triangle ABC:
<ABC=90°
<ACB=y

Triangle CDE:
<CDE=90°
<DCE=y

The two triangles have two congruent angles, then they are similars, and theirs sides must be proportionals:

Adjacent angle to y / Hypotenuse

Triangle CDE       Triangle ABC
CD/CE             =       BC/AC

Replacing the values:
x/7=(20-x)/21

Solving for x. Cross multiplication:
(21)(x)=(7)(20-x)
21x=140-7x
21x+7x=140-7x+7x
28x=140
28x/28=140/28
x=5

Length of CD = x = 5

Answer: The length of CD is 5

Answer: 5

A prism has a right triangle as its base.
gavmur [86]

Answer:

168 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the prism is a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 10 cm and one other side is 6 cm.

So, the third side of the triangle = \sqrt{10^{2}-6^{2}  }=8 cm.

{Since we have applied the Pythagoras theorem.}

Hence, the area of the base triangle is \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 = 24cm².

Therefore, the volume of the prism is = 24\times 7=168 cm³ {Since volume of a prism is given by ( Area of the base triangle ) × ( Height of the prism )}
