1 answer:
The square's side length is 24/7 or 3.428 units if the square is inscribed in a right triangle with leg lengths 6 and 8 such that they have a common right angle.
<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.
First we have to find the line that goes through the points (0, 6) and (8, 0)
(y - 0) = (0-6)/(8-0)(x-8)
y = (-6/8)[x - 8]
Plug y = x
x = (-6/8)[x - 8]
After solving:
x = 24/7 or 3.428
y = 24/7 or 3.428
Thus, the square's side length is 24/7 or 3.428 units if the square is inscribed in a right triangle with leg lengths 6 and 8 such that they have a common right angle.

As you can see in the screenshot, once you plot the points for each rectangle, it becomes easier to see what's happening. In the first transformation, the rectangle is translated or slid. In the next 2 transformations, the rectangle is rotated. In the last transformation, the rectangle is dilated or shrunk. The first rectangle is the only translation.
