Answer 5

can you please give full infomation

Answer 6

The only available information is the question, the diagram, and four answer choices:

Answer 7

is it a right angled triangle

Answer 8

Based on the diagram, that's what it looks like. 2 right triangles together.

Answer 9

no only the upper angle looks like 90degree
and the line is its angle bisector

Answer 10

if it is 90 degree you can use Pythagoras Theorem

Answer 11

I only know one side of three though

Answer 12

a^+b^=c^
It would end up looking like 9+b=c

Answer 13

please re check the question

Answer 14

and write it as it is

Answer 15

I wrote it exactly as it was put.

Answer 16

Height^2 = 25^2 - 15^2

Height^2 = 625 - 225

Height^2 = 400

Height = 20

x^2 = 20^2 + 9^2

Answer 17

it gives
\[x=\pm \sqrt{481}\]

Answer 18

So x would be 29^2? The square root of 29 is 5 something... Would my answer be 5 2/5 @wolf1728?

Answer 19

You are confusing me @mack7

Answer 20

sry

Answer 21

wowok - look at the equation I posted

That is 481 right?

Answer 25

Yes - and what do you do now?

Answer 26
