This problem can be solved in two ways, the long way, or the short way.
1. The long way
We know that the base of the triangle is along the x-axis, and the length of the base is 20.
The centre of mass is located at 2/3 of the distance from vertex (3,4) along the median, which cuts the base at (10,0).
Therefore the centre of mass is located at
x=3+(10-3)*2/3=23/3
y=4/3
2. The short way
It turns out that the centre of mass of a triangle sheet is located at the mean of the coordinates of the three vertices, i.e.
CG=((0+20+3)/3, (0+0+4)/3)=(23/3, 4/3) as before.
Answer:
The value of x is 21.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right angle triangle, you can apply Pythagoras theorem, side² + side² = hypo² :
(x + 3)² + 10² = (x + 5)²
x² + 6x + 9 + 100 = x² + 10x + 25
x² + 6x + 109 - x² - 10x - 25 = 0
-4x + 84 = 0
-4x = -84
4x = 84
x = 84 ÷ 4
x = 21 units
