Answer:
The coordinates of ABCD after the reflection across the x-axis would become:
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of reflection implies that when we reflect a point, let say P(x, y), is reflected across the x-axis:
- x-coordinate of the point does not change, but
- y-coordinate of the point changes its sign
In other words:
The point P(x, y) after reflection across x-axis would be P'(x, -y)
P(x, y) → P'(x, -y)
Given the diagram, the points of the figure ABCD after the reflection across the x-axis would be as follows:
P(x, y) → P'(x, -y)
A(2, 3) → A'(2, -3)
B(5, 5) → B'(5, -5)
C(7, 3) → C'(7, -3)
D(5, 2) → D'(5, -2)
Therefore, the coordinates of ABCD after the reflection across the x-axis would become:
two thousand ten and eight tenths
Using cosine rule, the length of the required side = sqrt(32^2 + 35^2 - 2 x 32 x 35cos 120)
= sqrt(1024 + 1225 - (-1120))
= sqrt(2249 + 1120)
= sqrt(3369)
= 58.04
