the 3rd vertex is on the x axis line which means Y =0

 since the longer leg is twice as long as the shorter leg and the length of the shorter leg is a, then twice the length would be 2a ( 2 times a)


 so the 3rd vertex is (2a,0)

Answer:

The third vertex of triangle is (2a,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

A right angled triangle such the longer side is twice the length of the shorter side.

We have to find the coordinate of the third vertex of triangle.

Let A(0,a), B(0,0), C(x,0)

Distance between two points with coordinate (x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2) is given by:

\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}

Now, we are given that the longer side is twice the length of the shorter side.

Thus, we can write:

AC = 2AB\\\sqrt{(x-0)^2 + (0-0)^2}= 2\sqrt{(0-0)^2 + (a-0)^2}\\\pm x = \pm 2a\\\text{Since the point lies on the positive side of x-axis}\\x = 2a

The third vertex of triangle is (2a,0)

Solve for B -(12 x 2) x (-6) = -12 x (2 x b)<br> A. -6<br> B. 6<br> C. -12<br> D. 12
myrzilka [38]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

<u><em>Option A</em></u>

<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>

<u><em>-(12 x 2) x (-6) = -12 x (2 x b)</em></u>

<u><em>=> -24 x -6 = -12 x 2b</em></u>

<u><em>=> 144 = -24b</em></u>

<u><em>=> b = -6</em></u>

Answer:

36 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

If each cube is 1 cubic yard by 1 cubic yard, then there are 3 cubic yards for the width, 3 cubic yards for height, and 4 cubic yards for length. Finding the volume of a rectangular prism is L*W*H, 3*3*4 = 36. So, 36 cubic yards is your answer.

Alexxandr [17]
All you have to do here is combine like terms.
5x + 9x = 14x
.5 - 2.5 = -2

14x - 2
