Answer:
x = 14
y = 4
Explanation:
Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.
So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.
So we can write the equation x = y + 10.
Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.
So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.
Now we have the equations you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.
If you graph these two equations they'll intersect at the solution ( 14, 4 ). I'll include the graph in my images as well.
To check your answer, you can plug in x and y and see if the triangle sides end up being the same length. I did and it was correct.
An ellipse (oval shape) is expressed by the following equation:
where h is the x coordinate of the center and k is the y coordinate of the center. Furthermore, a is the horizontal distance from the center, and b is the vertical distance from the center. Lastly, c is the distance from the center to one of the foci (they are spaced apart equally).
We can find the foci by using
36 - 11 =
Since the k value in this case is 0, the y value of both foci are 0. Also, since h and k are both 0, we know the center of the ellipse is at the origin.
So the foci are (-5, 0) and (5, 0)
Hope this helps :)
