Describe how you might use the pythagorean theorem to find of an equilater triangle that has a side length of 12m

1 answer:

6 0

We assume that equilateral triangle is composed of 2 right triangles
as length of side is 12 base length became half as we have 2 triangles hyp remain same i.e 12 and we can find perpendicular using pythagorean theorem

Pie

$\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution }}}$

We have, 

Line segment AB
The coordinates of the midpoint of line segment AB is ( -8 , 8 )
Coordinates of one of the end point of the line segment is (-2,20)

Let the coordinates of the end point of the line segment AB be ( x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2)

Also, 

Let the coordinates of midpoint of the line segment AB be ( x, y)

We know that,

For finding the midpoints of line segment we use formula :-

$\bold{\purple{ M( x, y) = }}{\bold{\purple{\dfrac{(x1 +x2)}{2}}}}{\bold{\purple{,}}}{\bold{\purple{\dfrac{(y1 + y2)}{2}}}}$

According to the question,

The coordinates of midpoint and one of the end point of line segment AB are ( -8,8) and (-2,-20) .

For x coordinates :-

$\sf{ -8 = }{\sf{\dfrac{(- 2 +x2)}{2}}}$

$\sf{2}{\sf{\times{ -8 = - 2 + x2 }}}$

$\sf{ - 16 = - 2 + x2 }$

$\sf{ x2 = -16 + 2 }$

$\bold{ x2 = -14 }$

For y coordinates :-

$\sf{ 8 = }{\sf{\dfrac{(- 20 +x2)}{2}}}$

$\sf{2}{\sf{\times{ 8 = - 20 + x2 }}}$

$\sf{ 16 = - 20 + x2 }$

$\sf{ y2 = 16 + 20 }$

$\bold{ y2 = 36 }$

Thus, The coordinates of another end points of line segment AB is ( -14 , 36)

Hence, Option A is correct answer

The slope of the line is

Nataliya [291]

ANSWER:

The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points .

2y+18=42 what is y, and how would you find it?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use order of operations. Subtract 18 from both sides and the divide by 2.

2y+18 -18=42-18

2y=24

y=12

Help asap please!!!!!!

Andrews [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

[(-3 × 2 × (-4)] ÷ [-6 × 12]

[3 × 2 × -4] ÷ [-6 × 12]

[6 × -4]/[-6 × 12]

-4/(-1 × 12]

-4/-12

⅓

Option A is wrong

Option B is wrong -9/-18 = ½ not ⅓

Option C is correct = -24/-72 = ⅓

Option D is wrong = 9/-18 = -½ not ⅓
