Do you know the Pythagorean Theorem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah so|dw:1397003895398:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100(c^2)-64(b^2)=36(a^2)\[\sqrt{36}=6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1397004051717:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64(c^2)-36(b^2)=28(a^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{28}=?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2over7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's weird, I'm getting 5.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's not an answer choice, but I could swear that it's the only way to do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to look over it again in case I missed something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (bibby):

that's not a pythagorean theorem problem. you set up a proportion based on the angles. The side opposite the red angles correspond with the other given side.

OpenStudy (nikato):

Agreed. That is not a right angle so you can't use the pythagoreom theorem. The marks are used to show that the angle is bisected. So using the angle bisector theorem, you set up a proportion 8. x -- = --- 10. 8 And solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32/5

OpenStudy (bibby):

Seems right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the anwers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nikato

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@bibby

OpenStudy (bibby):

32/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for x. A. 6.2 B. 6.4 C. 6.6 D. 6.8

OpenStudy (nikato):

so whats 32 divided by 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6.4

OpenStudy (nikato):

correct. and isnt that one of your choices?
