( http://puu.sh/6FmFw.jpg )

X= 2(Squareroot sign)3, y =4
x=8(Squareroot sign)7, y = 4(Squareroot sign)21
x=8(Squareroot sign)3, y = 8(Squareroot sign)3
x=4(Squareroot sign)21, y = 8(Squareroot sign)7

Answer 1

My Answe is C

Answer 2

hmm how did you get C?

Answer 3

This is like the only question I guessed on ...

Answer 4

help ?

Answer 5

First find the altitude by using the fact that the altitude to the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the hypotenuse segments.

Answer 6

notice the ratio, what you really have is 3 SIMILAR TRIANGLES, -> http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/similar/triangles/geometric-mean.php

Answer 7

so as you've done with other similar figures, do the same here, use the corresponding sides for each, and equate their ratios

Answer 8

one can say that \(\bf \cfrac{28}{x}=\cfrac{x}{16}\)
