Answer:
3. A; 4. C; 5. D; 6. D
Step-by-step explanation:
3. By Pythagorean theorem, x^2=100-64=36, x=6
4. By Pythagorean theorem, x^2=81-36=25, x=5
5. Since the triangle is an isosceles, the other side is 4, so the hypotenuse is 4. (the ratio is 1:1:
by Pythagorean theorem)
6. Like Question #5, the ratio is 1:1: since it is an isosceles triangle, the leg is 8.
Answer:
- (1,3) is inside the triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Orthocenter is the intersection of altitudes.
We'll calculate the slopes of the two sides and their altitudes ad find the intersection.
<h3>Side QR</h3>- m = (3 - 5)/(4 - (-1)) = -2/5
<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>
- -1/m = 5/2
<u>Perpendicular line passes through S(-1, -2):</u>
- y - (-2) = 5/2(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = 5/2x + 1/2
- m = (-2 - 3)/(-1 -4) = -5/-5 = 1
<u>Perpendicular slope:</u>
- -1/m = -1/1 = -1
<u>Perpendicular line passes through Q(-1, 5):</u>
- y - 5 = -(x - (-1)) ⇒ y = -x + 4
The intersection of the two lines is the orthocenter.
<u>Solve the system of equations to get the coordinates of the orthocenter:</u>
- 5/2x + 1/2 = x + 4
- 5x + 1 = -2x + 8
- 7x = 7
- x = 1
<u>Find y-coordinate:</u>
- y = -1 + 4 = 3
The orthocenter is (1, 3)
If we plot the points, we'll see it is inside the triangle
