Check the picture below.
well, it's noteworthy to say that when dropping a perpendicular line from a right angle in a right triangleto the hypotenuse, we'd end up with 3 similar triangles, a Large a Medium and a Small one, all three similar.
3a)
is the Small similar to the Large one? well, let's notice, they both have a 90° angle and also they share the purple one, similar triangles by AA.
3b)
are the Medium and the Large one similar? well, let's notice, just like before, they both have a 90° and they also share the green one, similarity by AA.
3c)
are the Small and Medium similar?
if Large ~ Medium
and
Large ~ Small
then
Medium ~ Small.
Answer:
10+11=21-16=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- b = 15
- c = 51
- c = 100
- b = 25.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagoras theorem equation:
Where 'c' is the hypotenuse and 'b' and 'a' the sides of the right triangle.
1) Here c = 17, a = 8 and b = ?
Then, using the above equation we can find the side b.
2) Here a = 24, b = 45 and c = ?
3) Here a = 28, b = 96 and c = ?
4) Here a = 17, b = ? and c = 28
Just in the 4 case x is an altitude.
I hope it helps you!
Answer:
y = x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In y = ax + b form, a is the slope and b is the y intercept so a = 1 and b = -4, thus y = x - 4
