RO divides the rectangle into two congruent right triangles.

The area of the one triangle is equal half area of the rectangle.

Calculate the area of rectangle:

A_R=lw\\l=12,\ w=5\\\\A_R=12\cdot5=60

The area of right triangle:

A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}A_R\to A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot60=30

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of RO:

|RO|^2=5^2+12^2\\\\|RO|^2=25+144\\\\|RO|^2=169\to|RO|=\sqrt{169}\to|RO|=13

The formula of an area of this right triangle is:

A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}|RO||PA|

Therefore we have the equation:

\dfrac{1}{2}(13)|PA|=30\qquad|\cdot2\\\\13|PA|=60\quad|:13\\\\|PA|=\dfrac{60}{13}\\\\|PA|\approx4.62

What does it mean for a differential equation to be autonomous?
andrew11 [14]
The term "autonomous" refers to an ordinary differential equation that relates the derivatives of the dependent variable as a function *only* of the dependent variable. In other words, the ODE doesn't explicitly depend on the independent variable.

Examples:

y'=y^2-1 is autonomous

y'=y^2-1+x is *not* autonomous
