Length of the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse

5x10^11 x 65

325 x 10^11

or

325,

x=-2

step-by-step explanation:

i began by flipping the problem to give me x= on the left (keeps it clearer for me).   so my problem simply became 10x-3=4x-6.  

1)   subtract 4x from the right side, which equals 0.   you do the same to the left of the equal as the right; therefore, subtract 4x from 10x, leaving 6x on the left.

              10x-3=4x-6   :   4x-4x on the right leaves only the -6        

2)             6x-3= 0-6 :    

                6x+3=   -6

3) divide

option c is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

the rule regarding the sides of triangle is:

(length of longest side)^2 = square of sum of other two sides.

the sides given are:

6, 10 and 8.

applying the rule we will get:

(10)^2 = (6)^2 + (8)^2

100 = 36+64

100 = 100

so, her answer is incorrect.

no, she should have added 6^2 and 8^2 and compared that to 10^2.

so, option c is correct.
