+280 In the figure, angles ABC and AST are right angles. If AC=35 then what is AS?
+1926 I don't see a figure posted, but this problem probably involves the pythagorean theorem
Thank! :)
+129895 I think this might be the question :
In the figure, angles ABC and AST are right angles. If AC = 35, AT = 11, and BT = 9, then what is AS?
AB = AT + BT = 11 + 9 = 20
Triangle AST is similar to triangle ABC
AS / AT = AB / AC
AS / 11 = 20 / 35
AS = (11 * 20 ) / 35 = 220 / 35 = 44 / 7
