<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The coordinates of the orthocenter of △JKL is (-4, 8)</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

The orthocenter is the point where all three altitudes of the triangle intersect. An altitude is a line which passes through a vertex of the triangle and is perpendicular to the opposite side.

For a right angle triangle, the vertex at the right angle is the orthocentre of the triangle.

Here we are given the three vertices of the triangle are  J(-4,-1), K(-4,8) and L(2,8)

If the triangle JKL satisfies Pythagoras Theorem, then triangle JKL will be a right angle triangle.

Applying distance formula we get,

JK^2= (-4+4)^2+ (8+1)^2=0+81=81\\\\KL^2= (-4-2)^2+ (8-8)^2=36+0=36\\\\JL^2= (-4-2)^2+(8+1)^2=36+81=117

As,

\Rightarrow 117=81+36

\Rightarrow JL^2=JK^2+KL^2

\Rightarrow \text{JKL is a right angle triangle}

\Rightarrow \angle K=90^{\circ}

Therefore, the vertex at K (-4, 8) is the orthocentre.

Building a is 271 meters taller than building
kvv77 [185]

Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).

... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b

... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211

Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.

... 2b - (b+271) = 211

... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271

... a = b +271 = 753

Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.

Johnny ate 8 pies in 5 minutes

He must have ate 1 pie in   (5/8) minutes

(5/8) minutes =  5/8 * 60 =  75/2  = 37.5 seconds

On each pie he spent 37.5 seconds.

PLEASE HELP ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!
leonid [27]

Answer:

g(5) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

g(5) is really g when x=5 so we have to use the function g(x) when x≥2

g(5) = 2x-5 when x=5

g(5) = 2*5 -5 = 10-5 = 5
