Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A B C is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point B to point D on side A C to form a right angle. The length of A D is 5 and the length of B D is 12. What is the length of Line segment B C, rounded to the nearest tenth?

28.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to further explain the description of the right angled triangle ABC above, I have attached a hand drawn diagram for easier understanding.

The length of A D is 5 units

The length of B D is 12 units.

From the above triangle ABC, to solve for BC we have the following ratios.

BD : BC = AD : BD

Hence,

BD/ BC = AD/BD

= 12/BC = 5/12

Cross Multiply

12× 12 = BC × 5

BC = 12 × 12/ 5

BC = 144/5

BC = 28.8 units

Therefore, the length of Line segment B C, rounded to the nearest tenth is 28.8 units

or 31.2

Step-by-step explanation:

u decide which one

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
