Can any side of a triangle be labeled as its base? Explain.

1 answer:

5 0

Sometimes, for it depends on the triangle. Take a right triangle, for instance. In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is always greater than the two legs. Therefore, you cannot label any side as the base, since the sides are different. In an equilateral triangle, on the other hand, all of the sides and angles are the same. Therefore, no matter which way you turn the triangle, every side is equal. In this sense it doesn't matter which side is labeled as the base. So, it really depends on the kind of triangle you're referring to.

Select interior, exterior, or on the circle (x - 5) 2 + (y + 3) 2 = 25 for the following point. (2, 3)

lozanna [386]

Standard equation of a circle: (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r² where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius. In the case of our equation here, (x-5)² + (y+3)² = 25, we can conclude that our circle has a center at (5, -3) and a radius of 5 units.

We can use the distance formula with the center (5, -3) and our point (2, 3) to see how far away they are...if the distance between them is less than the radius of the circle, it is on the interior. If it's equal, it's on the circle. If it's greater, it's on the exterior.

Distance = $\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(5-2)^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{(-6)^2+3^2}$

Distance = $\sqrt{36+9}$

Distance = $\sqrt{45}\approx6.7082$

$6.7082>5,\ so\ (2,3)\ is\ on\ the\ \boxed{exterior}$

A. time and distance
1.distance depends on time
2. independent. time
dependent. distance
b. y=50x
input number put in for x
output the y value after its solved.
2a. y=50(6)
y=300
2b. no it will travel 25 miles less because if you plug 4 in for x it equals 200
hope this helps
