Hint...they both end in a fraction

Answer 1

Hint...they both end in a fraction

Answer 2

So do you need help or what?

Answer 3

We know that: \(\angle BAD \cong \angle CBD\)

Answer 4

no.....it is a challenge

Answer 5

Suppose the angle is \(\theta\).
Then: \[
\sin(\theta) = \frac{y}{15+x} = \frac{8}{17} = \frac{x}{y}
\]Also: \[
\cos(\theta) = \frac{17}{15+x} = \frac{15}{17} = \frac{8}{y}
\]

Answer 6

x= what y=what; that is how the answer is placed

Answer 7

I'm not going to do someone else's homework

Answer 8

Look on my profile...this is what I do.

Answer 9

I just had a professor answer one of my challenges.

Answer 10

anyone??

Answer 11

you can apply the pythagoras theorem to large and smallest triangles
(15 + x)^2 = 17^2 + y^2
y^2 + x/62 + 8^2

Answer 12

* y^2 = x^2 + 8^2

Answer 13

substituting y*2 = x^2 + 8^2 into the first equation
(15 + x)^2 = 17^2 + x^2 + 8^2

Answer 14

They both end in a fraction

Answer 15

This is easy

Answer 16

yea
