<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.

GUYS HELP ME PLS. Tina is standing at the bottom of a hill. Matt is standing on the hill so that when Tina's line of sight is
Pie

Answer:

71°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation of the hill can be obtiaed using trigonometry :

Given

the opposite length = 14.5 feets

Adjacent = 5 feets

The angle of elevation vabnbe obtained using :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Where θ = angle of elevation

Tan θ = 14.5 / 5

Tan θ = 2.9

θ = tan^-1(2.9)

θ = 70.97 = 71°

I need to solve for x - 6(2x-5)=-(x+4)
sdas [7]
Distribute
x-12x+30=-x-4

Combine like terms
-11x+30=-x-4

Add x to both sides
-10x+30= -4

Subtract 30 from both sides
-10x=-34

Divide both sides by -10
x=3.4

Final answer: x=3.4
