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)

4. Find x if PQ = RS,<br> PQ = 9x - 7, and RS = 29.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we know that PQ = RS, we can use the transitive property to replace PQ in the first equation with 29:

9x-7=29

1) Add 7 to both sides:

9x=36

2) divide by 9 on both sides:

x=4

An airplane flies into the wind for 5 hours, traveling 900 miles. The airplane then
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

22.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given system of equations</u>

5(s-w)=900

4(s+w)=900

<u />

<u>Set equations equal to each other</u>

5(s-w)=4(s+w)

5s-5w=4s+4w

s-5w=4w

s=9w

<u>Solve for w using the substitution s=9w</u>

4(s+w)=900

4(9w+w)=900

4(10w)=900

40w=900

w=22.5

Therefore, the speed of the wind is 22.5 miles per hour

What happens to the inequality symbol when you multiply or divide each side by a positive number?
Pani-rosa [81]
If you multiply or divide by a positive number the inequality sign DOES NOT CHANGE!

If you multiply or divide by a negative number the inequality sign flips around and becomes the opposite.
