Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that ΔSRQ is a right angle triangle, ∠SRQ is right angle.
RT is altitude on side SQ, ST=9, TQ=16 and SR=x.
In ΔSRQ and ΔSTR,
(Reflexive property)
(Right angle)
By AA property of similarity,
Corresponding parts of similar triangles are proportional.
Substitute the given values.
On cross multiplication we get
Taking square root on both sides.
The value of x is 15. Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer:
Porter is inches taller than Henry.
Porter is times taller than henry.
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference in height can be found using subtraction.
Since Porter is taller than Henry, we'll subtract away Henry's height from Porter's height. This will leave us with only the difference between the heights.
n = Porter's height
m = Henry's height
Difference in height is thus:
Answer: Porter is inches taller than Henry.
To find out how many times taller Porter is than Henry, we can use division.
An example: if Porter was 200cm, and Henry was 100cm, Porter is obviously 2 times as tall.
If we divide Porter's height by Henry's height...
..we'll get 2. This is because Henry's height "fits in twice" in Porter's height. 100 fits twice in 200.
Using our values, n and m, we'll divide n by m.
Answer: Porter is times taller than henry.
