Answer:
B. 10,368 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
120x90= 10800
24x18=432
10800-432= 10,368 square yards
Answer:
i. ΔAXC ~ ΔCXB
ii. ΔBCX Is-congruent-to ΔACX
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given ΔABC, CX is the altitude of ΔABC; and also an angle bisector of <ACB.
So that:
m<AXC = m<BXC (right angle property)
m<ACX = m<BCX (congruent property)
m<ACX + m<AXC + m<CAX = 
(sum of angles in a triangle)
m<BCX + m<BXC + m<CBX = (sum of angles in a triangle)
Therefore, from the figure it can be deduced that;
i. ΔAXC ~ ΔCXB (Angle-Angle-Side, AAS, property)
ii. ΔBCX Is-congruent-to ΔACX (Angle-Angle-Side, AAS, property)
Answer: Choice B) {3, 5, sqrt(34)}
=====================================
Explanation:
We can only have a right triangle if and only if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. The 'c' is the longest side, aka hypotenuse. The legs 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.
-----------
For choice A,
a = 2
b = 3
c = sqrt(10)
So,
a^2+b^2 = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13
but
c^2 = (sqrt(10))^2 = 10
which is not equal to 13 from above. Cross choice A off the list.
-----------
Checking choice B
a = 3
b = 5
c = sqrt(34)
Square each equation
a^2 = 3^2 = 9
b^2 = 5^2 = 25
c^2 = (sqrt(34))^2 = 34
We can see that
a^2+b^2 = 9+25 = 34
which is exactly equal to c^2 above. This confirms the answer.
-----------
Let's check choice C
a = 5, b = 8, c = 12
a^2 = 25, b^2 = 64, c^2 = 144
So,
a^2+b^2 = c^2
25+64 = 144
89 = 144
which is a false equation allowing us to cross choice C off the list.
Answer:
Equation: 8=4b
b=2
Explanation:
The green line equals 8 and the black time equals 2b+2b. So to form an equation where the green line equals the black line it would look like: 8=2b+2b
8 being the green line
2b+2b being the black line
Then the directions tell us to combine like terms, like terms are terms that are the same such as 2b in this problem, and to combine them means to add them together.
So, 2b+2b= 4b
So the answer is, 8= 4b
In order to solve this equation divide both sides by 4.
Which leaves you with: 8/4= b
Now solve 8/4:
Which gives you:
b=2
