In triangle pqr, rs=4 and qs=6. find ps

Mathematics
1 answer:
Svetradugi [14.3K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

PS=2\sqrt{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given triangle as

we know that

triangle PRS and triangle PQS are similar

so, the ratios of their sides must be equal

we get

\frac{RS}{PS}=\frac{PS}{QS}

now, we are given

RS=4

QS=6

we can plug it

\frac{4}{PS}=\frac{PS}{6}

PS^2=6\times 4

PS^2=24

now, we can solve for PS

PS=2\sqrt{6}

Three of the four vertices of a rectangle are located at (4, 2), (7, 2) and (4, 8). a. What are the coordinates of the missing v
34kurt

Answer:

a) The coordinates of the missing vertex = (7, 8)

b) Area = 18 square units

   Perimeter = 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We know three of the four vertices:

A: (4, 2)           C ______ D(?)

B: (7, 2)               |             |

C: (4, 8)           A |______| B  

To find the coordinates of the missing vertex we need to calculate the distance in the x-direction from point A to point B:

B_{x} - A_{x} = 7 - 4 = 3                    

Hence, the distance of point D from point C in the x-direction is:

D_{x} = C_{x} + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

Now, to find the coordinate in "y" we need to calculate the distance in the y-direction between point C and point A:

C_{y} - A_{y} = 8 - 2 = 6  

Then, the distance of point D from point B in the y-direction is:

D_{y} = B_{y} + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8

Therefore, the coordinates of the missing vertex (point D) are:

D = (D_{x}, D_{y}) = (7, 8)    

b) The area of the rectangle is:

a = (B_{x} - A_{x})*(C_{y} - A_{y}) = 3*6 = 18 units^{2}

The perimeter is given by:

p = 2*(3 + 6) = 18 units

I hope it helps you!

Lesechka [4]

c=\frac{5y}{4\\} + \frac{7}{4\\}

x=-\frac{y}{2} + \frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

if 'c' is meant to be another 'x' the answer is

(3, 1)

x = 3,y = 1
