Answer from: Quest

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

$ab^2+ac^2=bc^2$

$ab^2+ac^2=x^2$ )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

$\frac{ab}{bc}=\frac{bd}{ab}$

$ab^2=bc\cdot bd$

$25=bc\cdot bd$ (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

$\frac{ac}{bc}=\frac{cd}{ac}$

$ac^2=bc\cdot dc$

$7\times 7=bc\cdot dc$

$49=bc\cdot dc$ )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

$25+49=x^2$

$74=x^2$

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

sure i'm up for it

step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: Quest

1. sometimes

2. never

3 .08c = 7.50+.05c 250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1. sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6. perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1 in those 60 times. your experimental probability is 0. or perhaps you rolled a 1 20 times. your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3. it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2. never

the probability of the event occurring is 1. that is being 100 % sure it will happen. that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3. no customer card cost: .08 times number of pages

customer card cost: 7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03
