Nathan wants to use coordinate geometry to prove that the opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent. He places parallelogram A
BCD in the coordinate plane so that A is (0, 0), B is (a, 0), C is (a, b), and D is (0, b). What formula can he use to determine the distance from point C to point D?
The formula used to find the length of a line segment is the same formula as the Pythagoras theorem.
We take CD as the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle and the distance between the x-coordinates and y-coordinates as the length of two short sides.
If Mike is willing to pay no more than an effective rate of 8.000% annually, the loans that meet his criteria are loan X and loan Z. Of those two, the lowest would be loan X. I hope the answer will help you :)
