Given the right triangle below with the altitude drawn, choose all of the statements that are true.

for this case we have the following expression:

to solve, we rewrite the expression as:

we apply double c and we have:

thus, the quotient is 48.

so, patel found a wrong ratio and the multiplication was incorrect.

option d

12/11c

or

12

c

11

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
