only need 5-9 and plz show work

Answer 2

how do I open this attachment?

Answer 3

it is for mac

Answer 4

sorry I only have a windows. Perhapas you can upload a picture?

Answer 5

Here is the theorem you need to get started:

Theorem: If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the length of the altitude is the geometric mean between the lengths of the segments of the hypotenuse.

To help you get started,

5) 6 is to LM as LM is to 17

6/LM = LM/17

Let LM = x

6/x = x/17

Cross multiply and solve for x:

x^2 = 6*17

x = ? @Xiongpheng

Answer 6

so for number5. Triangle JLM is similar to LKM, which is similar to JKL. then we know JM/ML=ML/JL=JM/JL, MK/LM=LM/JL=LK/JL. SO 6/ML=ML/JL. So JL=ML^2/6. So JL^2=ML^4/36. and it's a right triangle. so JL^2=ML^4/36=JM^2+ML^2=36+ML^2 So ML^4=36^2+36ML^2 then it's easy to find ML and JM. and it's easy to find the rest altitude

Answer 7

sorry but I need 6-7 and sorry again but plz show how to do it

Answer 8

hmmm... how did you do 4 and 5?

Answer 9

5 * 12 = 60 and than square 60 = 7.7

Answer 10

hmm.... lemme make few stuff on ... 6 one sec

Answer 11

see how the ratio is used to find the side? you'd use the corresponding sides for each SIMILAR triangle

Answer 12

Got it thanks
