Answer:
AC = 16 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
AD = CD = 10 in.
BD = 6 in.
AC = 2(AB) = ?
Apply pythagorean theorem to find AB
AB² = AD² - BD²
Substitute
AB² = 10² - 6²
AB² = 64
AB = √64
AB = 8
Therefore:
AC = 2(AB) = 2(8)
AC = 16 in.
I haven’t done math in forever, do you want us to simplify it? Bc it would be 2x+8=-16=4x+6 but I’m not sure
Answer:
(a) isosceles
(b), (c) scalene
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of the sides can be found from the distance formula:
d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)
Here, there are 9 lengths to be computed, so it is useful to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do it.
We find triangle (a) has two sides the same length, so it is isosceles.
The other two triangles have three different side lengths, so they are scalene.

<em>Additional comment</em>
It is impossible to specify an equilateral triangle using rational coordinates.
you can use calculator because it shows the graph and table.
