The segments formed by the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle are 8 and 10. Find the shorter leg of that triangle.

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the hypothenuse is 10 and the larger leg of the triangle is given as 8, the shorter leg will be calculated as the square of the hypothenuse minus the square of the longer leg after which we find the square root of the value gotten. This will be:

Shorter leg² = 10² - 8²

Shorter leg² = 100 - 64

Shorter leg² = 36

Shorter leg = ✓36

Shorter leg = 6

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
