The third coordinate of the equilateral triangle is (\sqrt3a,0). Ir can be obtained by distance formula.

What is distance formula?

It gives the distance between two coordinates.

Distance formula is given by the following expression:

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Consider the third cordinate is (x,0) and x is positive because it is on tight side on the x axis.

Now, since the triangle is equilateral hence, the distance of (x,0) from (0, -a) and (0, a) should be equal to distance between (0, -a) and (0, a).

Now, caculate the distance between (0,-a) and (0, a).\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(-a-a)^2}=2a

Now, distance between (x,0) and (0, a) should be 2a.

\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(0-a)^2}=2a\\\sqrt{x^2+a^2}=2a

Now, square on both the sides.

x^2+a^2=4a^2\\x^2=3a^2\\x=\sqrt3aand -\sqrt3a

But the negative value of x is not possible because the coordinate lies on the right side.

Hence, the third coordinate of equilateral triangle is (\sqrt3a,0).

Colt1911 [192]

Responder:

120 maneras.

Explicacion paso a paso:

Cinco tipos diferentes de semillas.

El numero de formas de organizar, n, a diferencia de los objetos en una linea es n!

Entonces, para sembrar 5 tipos diferentes de flores, serian 5!

5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 vias.

Por lo tanto, hay 120 formas de sembrar las cinco semillas.

Hablo ingles y escribo ingles. Espero que entiendas. Acabo de utilizar el traductor de Google para intentar que la respuesta sea mas clara para ti :).

Por favor, califique con 5 estrellas, gracias, y deme lo mejor (Brainliest). Gracias.
