The side lengths of the following right triangle 15,20 and 25, as shown below. The altitude from the right angle splits the hypotenuse into line segments of length x and y. Solve for h, x, and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find h, x and y

Let the base of the triangle be 15.

So, the area is:

Let the base of the triangle be 25.

So, the area is:

Substitute

Solve for h

Considering the smallest triangle

So:

This gives:

Take square roots

Solving for y

imma say 16%. sorry if its wrong. i'm doing the same stuff right now

step-by-step explanation:

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11 -1> 1 -1+ a

-12 > a
