The right isosceles triangle PQR has vertices P(3, 3), Q(3, 1) and R(x, y) and is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the

Jlenok [28]

For the answer to the question above, since the triangle is isosceles, the two legs have equal length. The coordinates of two vertices are given
P(3,3)
Q(3,1)
Assuming that PQ and QR are the legs of equal length, the distance between Q and R must be the same as the distance between P and Q
d = √[(3-3)² + (3-1)²
d = 2
Therefore, the coordinates of P is
(5,1)

The difference of two numbers.(a,b) is 21. The difference of 5 times a and 2 times b is 18. What are the values of a,b?

ziro4ka [17]

The equation is b-a= 21;
2b-5a = 18
a=8 and b= 29
therefore 29-8= 21
2 (29) -5 (8) = 18
58-40=18

What is the value of x?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to solve for x

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, thus

x² + 6² = 10²

x² + 36 = 100 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² = 64 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{64}$ = 8

121 slabs . How many slabs will she need to lay in each row to make a square

netineya [11]

She needs to lay 11 slabs on each row to make a square

<h3>How to determine the number of slabs in each row?</h3>

The total number of slabs is given as:

Total = 121 slabs

Let this represent the area of the slab.

The area of a square is calculated as:

Area = Length^2

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Length^2 = 121

Take the square root of both sides

Length = 11

Hence, she needs to lay 11 slabs on each row to make a square
