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)

How do I solve this?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Addition of the blocks in first row is 60

a + a + a + 12 = 60

3a + 12 = 60

3a = 60 - 12

3a = 48

a = 16

For second row,

(b + 5) + (b + 5) + (b + 5) + (b + 5) = 60

4(b + 5) = 60

b + 5 = 15

b = 10

For third row,

(a + b) + c = (b + 5) + (b + 5) + (b + 5)

a + b + c = 3(b + 5)

16 + 10 + c = 3(10 + 5) [Since, a = 16 and b = 10}

26 + c = 45

c = 45 - 26

c = 19

For fourth row,

3c + d = 60

3(19) + d = 60

57 + d = 60

d = 60 - 57

d = 3

A string is cut into two pieces in the ratio 2 : 7. The difference between the lengths of the two pieces is 90cm. Find the lengt
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:the length of the shorter string= 36cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the lengths are 2x and 7x  since thery are in the ratio of 2 :7

 Such that Length of the shorter string = 2x

and the longer string = 7x  so that  the difference in Length which is 90cm can be expressed as

7x- 2x= 90

5x= 90

x 90/5

x= 18

shorter string = 2 x = 2x 18= 36cm

Longer strring = 7x 18=126cm
