What is the volume of a prism 3mi y’all with a right triangle for a base with side lengths 8mi, 15mi, and 17mi ?

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

answer: y = -2.5x - 15

              (-6,0)

step-by-step explanation:

answer: (3,11) is your answer.

the answer is d.x= 90°

y= 50°

arc lm= 100°
