Find the length of each side of the triangle determined by the three points P1,P2, and P3. State whether the triangle is an isos

celes triangle, a right triangle, neither of these, or both. (An isosceles triangle is one in which at least two of the sides are of equal length.)

Answer:

The triangle is both an Isosceles triangle and a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of a triangle.

$ P_{1} = (- 1, 4) $

$ P_{2} = (6, 2) $    and

$ P_{3} = (4, - 5) $

We find the distance between all the points to determine the length of each side of the triangle.

Distance between any two points, say, $ (x_1, y_1) $ and $ (x_2, y_2) $ is:

                                 $ \sqrt{\bigg ( \textbf{x}_{\textbf{2}} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{- x}_{\textbf{1}} \bigg )^{\textbf{2}} \textbf{+}   \bigg( \textbf{y}_{\textbf{2}} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{- y}_{\textbf{1}} \bigg)^ {\textbf{2}} $

Length between $ P_1 $ and $ P_{2} $ , (Side 1) :

$ (x_1, y_1) = (- 1, 4) $     and

$ (x_2, y_2) = (6, 2) $

Distance = $ \sqrt{\bigg(6 - (-1) \bigg)^{2} \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} \bigg( 2 - 4 \bigg )^2 $

$ = \sqrt{7^2 + 2^2} $

$ = \sqrt{49 + 4} $

$ = \sqrt{\textbf{53}} $

Length of Side 1 = $  \sqrt{\textbf{53}} $ units.

Distance between $ P_1 $ and P_2 , (Side 2):

$ (x_1, y_1) = (-1, 4) $

$ (x_2, y_2) = (4, - 5) $

Distance = $ \sqrt{ \bigg( 4 + 1 \bigg)^2 \hspace{1mm} + \bigg( - 5 - 4 \bigg ) ^2 $

$ = \sqrt{ 25 + 81 } $

$ = \sqrt{\textbf{106}} $

Length of Side 2 = $ \sqrt{\textbf{106}} $ units.

Distance between $ P_2 $ and $ P_3 $ , Side 3 :

$ (x_1, y_1) = (4, 5) $

$ (x_2, y_2) = (6, 2) $

Distance = $ \sqrt{ 2^2 \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} 7^2} $

$ = \sqrt{49 + 4} $

$ = \sqrt{\textbf{53} $

Length of Side 3  = $ \sqrt{\textbf{53}} $ units.

Note that the length of Side 1 = Length of Side 3.

That means the triangle is Isosceles.

Also, For a triangle to be right angle triangle, using Pythagoras theorem we have:

(Side 1)² + (Side 3)² = (Side 2)²

$ \bigg( \sqrt{53} \bigg )^2 \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} \bigg( \sqrt{53} \bigg)^2 \hspace{1mm} = \hspace{1mm} \bigg ( \sqrt{106} \bigg ) ^2 $

i.e, 53 + 53  = 106

Hence, the triangle is a right - angled triangle as well.

in addition to dog walking on Tuesday Eric made $45 dog sitting at one of his customers homes if he made $168 on Tuesday right i
Rus_ich [418]

Since we don't know how much Eric makes per dog, let's let <em>x </em>represent that value. Let's also let <em>y</em> represent our answer.

First, let's consider the two numbers we KNOW will be in the equation. The 56 that Eric made dog sitting and the 168 he made in total on Tuesday. Now, we're going to need to use subtraction and division in this equation.

(168 - 45) ÷ <em>x</em> = <em>y</em>


Hope this answer helped you out. :)

The table shows data collected to represent the functional relationship between the number of hours an auto factory is open and
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

{3, 5, 7, 9, 11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of a function is the set of all the allowable values that can be used as an input to the function. In easy words, we can just say this: The set of all the inputs to a function comprises the Domain of the function.

Domain consists of the values of independent variable on which some other variable depends and give some output result. From the given table we can see that there are two variables: Number of hours(x) and the Cars Produced(y).

Number of cars produced depend on the number of hours the auto factory remains open. So, number of hours is the independent or the input variable and all the values of this variable will form the Domain of the function represented by the table.

So, the Domain of the function is: {3, 5, 7, 9, 11}
