Answer:

  C)  31.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of AB can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

  AB² = AD² +BD²

  AB = √(25 +144) = 13

All of the right triangles are similar, so ...

  BC/BD = AB/AD

  BC = BD(AB/AD) = 12(13/5)

  BC = 31.2 . . . units

The area of the triangle shown is 40.0 cm2.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The height of the triangle is 6.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

- If the triangle has a side that measures 12.5cm, it means that two of its sides are equal in length.

Which is equivalent to the description of an isosceles triangle.

To find the height, use the equation of the area.

Area = (Base * height) / 2

- We know the value of the area and its shorter side that could be the base.

40cm = (12.5 cm * h) / 2

- Clearing the height would give that:

80cm / 12.5cm = h

h = 6.4cm

The height of the triangle is 12.5cm

Answer:

  B.  1.2×10^-3 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

What constitutes an "appropriate" unit depends on the use of the number. Since we're not told of any particular use, we might choose the smallest of the available units: mm.

  1.2×10^-3 mm

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The most appropriate unit would be the one that eliminates the power-of-ten multiplier:

  = 1.2 µm
