Answer:
F. 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the long side to the short side is the same in similar triangles. The long side of triangle BAD is AD, which has length 20-4 = 16.
BD/DE = AD/BD
h/4 = 16/h
h^2 = 64 . . . . . . . multiply by 4h
h = 8 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (matches selection F)

<em>Comment on this geometry</em>
BD = √(AD·DC) is called the "geometric mean" of the segments AD and DC. This geometry has some other geometric mean relationships as well:
BC = √(AC·DC)
BA = √(AC·AD)
[ 4(4) x 4(3) ] / 4(5)
= [4(4+3)] / 4(5)
= 4(7) / 4(5)
= 4(7-5)
= 4(2)
Answer:
Number of Trucks = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of cars and truck = 43
Find:
Number of Trucks
Computation:
Assume
Number of Trucks = x
Number of Cars = 2x - 8
Total number of cars and truck = Number of Trucks + Number of Cars
43 = x + 2x - 8
51 = 3x
x = 17
Number of Trucks = 17
Y - 3x = -8
y = 3x - 8...slope here is 3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -1/3.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
(3,2)...x = 3 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = -1/3(3) + b
2 = -1 + b
2 + 1 = b
3 = b
so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/3x + 3
