solve for z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you familiar with the pythagorean theorem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ma'am

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this a trigonometry class?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think this is solved by ratios but i can never do that so i defer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im in the geometry section aarnt i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ratios

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Side-Splitter Theorem - maybe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not enough numbers for that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 Can you be a bit more specific? I don't know this one. @GParsley Check out www.purplemath.com - it is a great math resource website.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Give this a try: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heronian_triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can some one else help me??\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Это 45,45,90 треугольника. Используйте этот \[z \sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

вычислять \[7\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it were an isosceles triangle, wouldn't the lengths of the hypotenuse be 8 and 8 instead of 9 and 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wrong answer bud

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not understand 'bud'.. Russian has no word for that my friend... Sorry if english is bad..

zepdrix (zepdrix):

bud = buddy = pal = friend to help you with slang terms :) hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well I really need the answer not learn to how to spaek English... \

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Делай, что я сказал. Использование: \[z \sqrt{2}\]и вычислить его.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not the answer

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large z=\sqrt{112}\]Maybe? D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@J_e_s_u_s You are treating this as an isosceles triangle, it is not.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

And parsley go fix your highway problem D:<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Как это нет? Существует углом 90 градусов сверху и одна снизу.Биссектриса делит треугольник на два треугольника.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

J_e_s_u_s: From Google Translate: How is it not? There is an angle of 90 degrees above and one below. The bisector divides the triangle into two triangles. :3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Parsley are you entering these online or something? Did my answer work? :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But it does not bisect the angle. If it did, the length of the hypotenuse would be bisected as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zepdrix your answer was not correct

zepdrix (zepdrix):

grr :d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

want me to tell you the answer choices

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

да

zepdrix (zepdrix):

We're not logged in +_+ we can't see the choices lol

We cannot log in to that site. Doesn't it give you any hints or some type of instruction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Просто перечислю ответы. English ((Just list the answers)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm A) 51 B)12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[c) 3\sqrt{7}... D) 4\sqrt{7}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The hypotenuse (the longest side) is 16, so it has to be one of the options shorter than that :) Keep that in mind.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Are you sure my answer wasn't right..? \[\Large \sqrt{112}=4\sqrt7\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Seems like it might be right D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get that answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is a right triangle! Angles are 45,45,90!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ik that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you @zepdrix

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use formula! \[x \sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@J_e_s_u_s The bottom angles are not 45 and 45. If they were, the hypotenuse of the large triangle would be 8 and 8. It is not.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

|dw:1377487586333:dw|\[\Large \frac{z}{16}=\frac{7}{z}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How does that get you to \(\sqrt{112}\)?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

cross multiplying gives us,\[\Large z^2=112\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16*7=112

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Brain dead, sorry. I was canceling instead of cross multiplying. THanks.
