Help please! Add the distances of the vertical and horizontal segments. These are the distances from A to B, B to C and C to D. Show how you found the total.

3 ft

step-by-step explanation:

since the triangle is right use pythagoras' identity to solve for a

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is

a² + 8² = ( )²

a² + 64 = 73 ( subtract 64 from both sides )

a² = 9 ( take the square root of both sides )

a = = 3

answer: 60

step-by-step explanation:

1/2a + (2/3×30)   = 50

1/2a + 20 = 50

1/2a = 30

a = 60

parallelogram is the   answer

  or  

sin y = 7/q

7 is the opposite side length, q is the hypotenuse

tan y = 7/r

7 is the opposite side length, r is the adjacent side length

using sohcahtoa ^^^^

cos y = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos y = r/q
