Explanation:
_______________________
The question asks: " 6 over {what value?} equals "3" ?
Solve for the "unknown value".
_______________________
To solve:
Let "x" represent the "unknown value".
_______________________
→ " = 3 " ; Solve for "x" .
→ Multiply each side of the equation by "x" ; as follows:
→ x * = 3 * x ;
_______________________
→ The 2 (two) "x" variables on the "<u><em>left-hand side</em></u>" of the equation cancel out;
→ {since: " = 1 " ;
→ {since any value, divided by that same value, is equal to "1" ;
→ {assuming that the value is not "zero" .} ;
_______________________
→ to get:
" 1 * 6 = 3 * x " ;
→ which we can simplify and rewrite; as follows:
" 6 = 3x " ;
↔ " 3x = 6 " ;
Now, we can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "3" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ; as follows:
→ 3x / 3 = 6 / 3 ;
to get:
_________________________
→ x = 2 .
_______________________
The answer is: " 2 " .
_______________________
→ 6 over "2" equals 3 .

First, you plot the coordinates to visualize the problem clearly. As you can see in the picture, the longest sides could either be one of those marked in red. This could be initially determined when you use visual estimation. We measure this using the distance formula: d = √[(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)]
Between coordinates (0,3) and (3,6)
d = √[(3-0)^2 + (6-3)^2)]
d= 4.24 units
Between coordinates (2,1) and (5,4)
d = √[(5-2)^2 + (4-1)^2)]
d= 4.24 units
They are of equal length. Both are the longest sides which measures 4.24 units.
