Given a right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC = 24 and DC = 6, what is the length of BC?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

BC = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

BD is the altitude, it breaks ΔABC into two similar triangles:

ΔABD ~ ΔBCD

The ratios of corresponding sides:

AD/BD = BD/DC ⇒ BD² = AD*DC ⇒ BD² = (24 - 6)*6 ⇒ BD² = 108

On the other hand:

BC² = BD² + DC² ⇒ BC² = 108 + 6² = 144 BC = √144BC = 12

Determine whether the dilation from the figure on the left to the figure on the right is an enlargement or a reduction. Then find the scale factor of the dilation.

A : Reduction scale factor 1/14
B : Enlargement; scale factor 14
C : Enlargement scale factor 0.5

Answers

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

we are going from a large shape to a smaller shape. the proof is that the side lengths go down from 7m to 0.5m. so, it is a reduction.

and the scaling factor s ? what do we need to multiply the original side lengths with to get the new ones ?

7 × s = 0.5 = 1/2

s = (1/2)/7 = (1/2)/(7/1) = (1×1)/(2×7) = 1/14

=> answer A is correct

The dilation from the figure on the left to the figure on the right is a reduction.  

Reduction scale factor 1/14.

The correct option is A.

What is a scale factor?

The ratio of the scale of an original thing to a new object that is a representation of it but of a different size is known as a scale factor (bigger or smaller).

Given:

We have given that two figures.

The dilation from the figure on the left to the figure on the right is a reduction.

And the scale factor is,

= actual / scale

= 1/(7 / 0.5)

= 1/14

Therefore, the scale factor is 1/14.

15. 70° because a right angle is 90° and we have the angle of ADB which is 20°. So 90°-20°=70°.

16. 70° because angle PSQ is 60° and angle QSR is 10°. So 60°+10°=70°.

17. 55° because it says it in the explanation. I assume this is a typo and they meant to ask the measurement of ADC and in that case it would be 130° because angle ADB is 75° and angle BDC is 55°. 75°+55°=130°.

18. 40° because angle PSQ is a right angle which means it's 90°. So 130°-90°=40°.

19. 140° because angle ADB is 120° and angle BDC is 20° so 120°+20°=140°.

20. 125° because again it's in the explanation. But if it's a typo and they meant what is the measurement of PSQ then it is 50° because PSR is 125° and QSR is 75° so 125°-75°=50°.

Sam and Mary collect marbles. “If you give me 5 marbles I’ll have twice as many as you.” said Sam to Mary.
“But if you give me 4 marbles wwe would have the same number said Mary to Sam.
How many marbles do they have altogether?

Answers

Answer:

54 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a word problem leading to a simultaneous equation

Let 'x' represent the initial number of marbles with Sam, and let 'y' represent the initial number of marbles with Mary,

If Mary gives Sam 5 marbles, we have;

x + 5 = 2 × (y - 5)...(1)

If Sam gives Mary 4 marbles, we get;

x - 4 = y + 4...(2)

From equation (1), we get;

x + 5 = 2 × (y - 5) = 2·y - 10

x = 2·y - 10 - 5 = 2·y - 15

x = 2·y - 15...(3)

From equation (2), we have;

x - 4 = y + 4

∴ x = y + 4 + 4 = y + 8

x = y + 8...(4)

Equating the two values of 'x' in equation (3), and equation (4), we get;

2·y - 15 = y + 8

2·y - y = 8 + 15 = 23

∴ y = 23

From equation (4), we get;

x = y + 8 = 23 + 8 = 31

x = 31

The total number of marbles they have altogether = x + y

However, x + y = 23 + 31 = 54

Therefore;

The total number of marbles they have altogether = 54 marbles.

Consider angle θ in Quadrant II, where cosθ=−12/13. What is the value of sinθ?

Answers

Answer:

The value of sin theta is 5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

In the second quadrant, sin is positive and cos is negative

Cos theta = -12/13 = adjacent/hypotenuse

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

opposite = sqrt(hyp² - adj²) = sqrt (13² - 12²) = sqrt (169 - 144) = sqrt (25) = 5

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse = 5/13
