Lets see
a and b are legs
c=hypotnuse
a^2+b^2=c^2
10^2+b^2=10^2
100+b^2=100
minus 100 both sides
b^2=0
b=0
false, if you have a leg legnth 0, then they lines are right on top of each other

no cannot

Solutions

To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c².

<span>Given

</span>α² = 10
c² = 10

Solve

α² + β² = c²
α² (10²) + β² = c² (10²)
100 + β² = 100
β² = 100 - 100 = 0

Simplify

<span>A right triangle can not have a leg that is 10 meters long and a hypotenuse that is 10 meters long. </span>

7) Center= (-1,2) Radius= $\boldsymbol{\sqrt{8}}$ Equation: $(x+1)^2+(y-2)^2 = 8$

8) Center= (3,13) Radius= 13 Equation: $(x-3)^2+(y-13)^2 = 169$

=========================================================

Explanation:

Problem 7

Let's find the distance from (-1,2) to (-3,4)

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,2) \text{ and } (x_2, y_2) = (-3,4)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-1-(-3))^2 + (2-4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-1+3)^2 + (2-4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 4}\\\\d = \sqrt{8}\\\\$

This is the radius because it stretches from the center to a point on the circle, so $r = \sqrt{8}$

Squaring both sides will get us $r^2 = 8$

One useful template for a circle is the equation $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\$

(h,k) is the center

r is the radius

Let's plug in the given center (h,k) = (-1,2) and the r^2 value we found earlier.

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-(-1))^2+(y-2)^2 = 8\\\\(x+1)^2+(y-2)^2 = 8\\\\$

You can confirm this by using a tool like Desmos. See below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem 8

The endpoints of the diameter are (-2,1) and (8,25)

The center is the midpoint of these endpoints.

The midpoint of the x coordinates is (-2+8)/2 = 3

The midpoint of the y coordinates is (1+25)/2 = 13

The center is (h,k) = (3,13)

Now find the distance from the center to one of the points on the circle, let's say to (8,25)

$(x_1,y_1) = (3,13) \text{ and } (x_2, y_2) = (8,25)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3-8)^2 + (13-25)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-12)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{25 + 144}\\\\d = \sqrt{169}\\\\d = 13\\\\$

The radius is exactly 13 units.

So,

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-3)^2+(y-13)^2 = 13^2\\\\(x-3)^2+(y-13)^2 = 169\\\\$

is the equation of this particular circle.

Visual confirmation is shown below.

Typically, you plot independent (x) vs dependent (y). Also, we list the variables on a table as x on top and y below. In this situation the miles travelled would be the variable the researcher controls (the independent variable) and number the of gallons used would be what was measured (the dependent variable).
