Answer:

Option D is correct.

$\overline{BC} = 122$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem:

$\text{Hypotenuse side}^2 = \text{Opposite side}^2+ \text{Adjacent side}^2$

As per the given right angle triangle ABC diagram:

In triangle ABC; we have

Hypotenuse side = BC

Opposite side = AB = 22 units

Adjacent side =AC= 120 units

Apply the Pythagoras theorem on rt angle triangle ABC we have;

$\text{BC}^2 = 22^2+120^2$

⇒ $\text{BC}^2 = 484+14400 = 14884$

⇒ $\tet{BC} = \sqrt{14884}=122$ units

Therefore, the length of side BC is, 122 units

AB²+AC²=BC²
120²+22²=BC²
14884=BC²
BC=122

If M (6,8) is the midpoint of line segment AB, and if A has coordinates (2,3) , find the coordinates of B.

sveticcg [70]

Graphing is one way to do the problem.But sometimes, graphing it is hard to do.So here’s an algebraic method.
If M(m1, m2) is the midpoint of two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2),then m1 = (x1 + x2)/2 and m2 = (y1 + y2)/2.In other words, the x-coordinate of the midpointis the average of the x-coordinates of the two points,and the y-coordinate of the midpointis the average of the y-coordinates of the two points.
Let B have coordinates (x2, y2) in our problem.Then we have that 6 = (2 + x2)/2 and 8 = (3 + y2)/2.
Solving for the coordinates gives x2 = 10, y2 = 13

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope 6 that contains the point

blondinia [14]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is option C</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line in point slope form when given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (1,2) and the slope is 6

The equation of the line in point slope form is

Recall that a right triangle is a triangle with one right angle. One angle of a triangle measures 89.99°. Can the triangle be a

Anastasy [175]

Yes because the right triangle has a right angle which will equal to 90° you can place 89.99 to the nearest whole number which will give you a right angle.
