Answer:

12 cm is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation: a² + b² = c² , in which c is the hypotenuse, and a & b are the other sides.

Note that the hypotenuse is 15, and the shorter leg is 9 cm. Plug in the corresponding numbers into the corresponding variables

a² + (9)² = (15)²

Simplify. First, solve for the solvable squares

a² + 81 = 225

Isolate the variable a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 81 from both sides:

a² + 81 (-81) = 225 (-81)

a² = 225 - 81

a² = 144

Isolate the variable a. Root both sides.

√(a²) = √(144)

a = √144 = √(12 * 12) = 12

a = 12

12 cm is your answer

For A (1, –1), B (–1, 3), and C (4, –1), find a possible location of a fourth point, D, so that a parallelogram is formed using
katrin [286]

The possible coordinates for the vertex D of the parallelogram could be (-4, 3)

It is given that A(1, –1), B (–1, 3), and C (4, –1) are the three vertices of the parallelogram.

Let us assume that the vertices are in the order A, C, B, and D where the coordinates of D are (a, b).

In this scenario, if we join AB and CD, they will become the diagonals of the parallelogram ABCD.

According to the properties of a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other.

Hence, mid-point of AB = mid-point of CD

Now, according to the mid-point theorem, if mid-point of AB is given as (x,y), then,

x = (x₁ + x₂)/2 and y = (y₁ + y₂)/2

Here, for AC,

x₁ = 1, y₁ = -1

x₂ = -1, y₂ = 3

Then, x = ( 1 - 1)/2 and y = (-1 + 3)/2

(x, y) ≡ (0, 1)  ............. (1)

Since (x, y) is also the mid-point of CD, we also have,

x₁ = 4, y₁ = -1

x₂ = a, y₂ = b

Then, x = (4 + a)/2 and y = (-1 + b)/2

(x, y) ≡ ((4 + a)/2, (-1 + b)/2) ................... (2)

From (1) and (2),

(4+a)/2 = 0 and (-1+b)/2 = 1

4+a = 0 and (-1+b) = 2

a = -4 and b = 3

Hence, the fourth vertex D of the parallelogram can be possibly located at (-4, 3)
