Answer:
x = √(10)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to get the measure of the side marked x
what we have is an isosceles right triangle since the two acute angles of the right triangle are 45 degrees each
Hence, the other last side will measure x too
Mathematically, according to Pythagoras’; the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Thus;
x^2 + x^2 = (√5)^2
2x^2 = 5
x^2 = 5/2
x = √(5/2)
x = √5/√2
Rationalizing the denominator;
x = (√2 * √5)/(√2 * √2)
x = √10/2
Plug in any value for x and then you will get y. Use the coordinates to plot.
Example
x= 2
5/2(2)-6
5-6
-1
(2,-1)
Then continue to do the same.
x = 3 + y Eqn(1)
y = -2x + 9 Eqn(2)
Let us solve the system of equations with the substitution method
x - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the Eqn(1))
Replacing y = x - 3 in Eqn (2), we have:
x - 3 = -2x + 9
x = -2x + 9 + 3 (Adding 3 to both sides of the equation)
x + 2x = 9 + 3 (Adding 2x to both sides of the equation)
3x = 12 ( Adding like terms)
x = 12/3 (Dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation)
x = 4
Replacing x=4 in Eqn(1), we have:
4 = 3 + y
4 - 3 = y (Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation)
y=1
The answers are:
x= 4 and y=1
