1:4
smaller side = 2
bigger side = 8 since 2/8 = 1/4
1/4 = 2/x
x=4*2=8

Point B has coordinates (1,2). The x-coordinate of point A is negative 8. The distance between point A and point B is 15 uni

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The point A will be (-8,14) or (-8,-10).

Step-by-step explanation:

Point B has coordinates (1,2) and the x-coordinate of point A is - 8.

Let us assume that the coordinates of point A are (-8,k).

Now, given that the point A is 15 units apart from point B.

Therefore, from the distance formula, we can write that

$\sqrt{(1 - ( -8))^{2} + (2 - k)^{2}} = 15$

Now,squaring both sides, we get

$(1 - ( -8))^{2} + (2 - k)^{2} = 225$

⇒ $(2 - k)^{2} = 225 - 9^{2} = 144$

⇒ 2 - k = ± 12

⇒ k = 14 or -10.

Therefore, the point A will be (-8,14) or (-8,-10). (Answer)

We know that the distance between two points on the coordinate plane ( $x_{1}, y_{1}$ ) and ( $x_{2}, y_{2}$ ) is given by

$\sqrt{(x_{1} - x_{2})^{2} + (y_{1} - y_{2})^{2}}$ .

Which set of measurements can represent the lengths of a triangle's sides?

zepelin [54]

Triangle, not a triangle, not a triangle, triangle

Determining if three side lengths can make a triangle is easier than it looks. All you have to do is use the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of two side lengths of a triangle is always greater than the third side. If this is true for all three combinations of added side lengths, then you will have a triangle.[

Evaluate piecewise functions

Mama L [17]

6 is neither equal to 0 nor equal to 7, so the last "piece" of h(x) applies. Then

h(6) = 3•6 - 2 = 18 - 2 = 16
