Theorem 8.18 and the Pythagorean Theorem to find the side lengths of the kite . Write the lengths in simplest radical form and a

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$|WX|=|XY|=\sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}\:Units \:or\: 4.2 \:Units\\|WZ|=|YZ|=\sqrt{34} \:Units \:or\: 5.8 \:Units$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Theorem: The diagonals of a kite are perpendicular.</u>

Let O be the point of intersection of the diagonals,

Applying Pythagoras Theorem, in right triangle WOX

$|WX|^2=|WO|^2+|OX|^2\\|WX|^2=3^2+3^2=18\\|WX|=\sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}\:Units \:or\: 4.2 \:Units$

Applying Pythagoras Theorem, in right triangle WOZ

$|WZ|^2=|WO|^2+|OZ|^2\\|WX|^2=3^2+5^2=34\\|WZ|=\sqrt{34} \:Units \:or\: 5.8 \:Units$

Find the slope of the line that passes through the given points.<br> (-5,6) and (2,6)

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your slope would be 0. To find the slope of a line given two points, you find the change in y over the change in x.

In this case, the change in y was 6 - 6 which equals 0.

The change in x was -5 - 2 which was -7.

Since your numerator is 0, 0 divided by anything is automatically equal to 0 no matter what the denominator is.

Therefore, your answer would be 0.

I hope this helped :)
