So you need to use the inverse tan to find the measure of angle c.
So since tan is opposite over adjacent.
You get the inverse tan of 6/8. And you get 36.87 degrees.
Graphing is one way to do the problem.But sometimes, graphing it is hard to do.So here’s an algebraic method.
If M(m1, m2) is the midpoint of two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2),then m1 = (x1 + x2)/2 and m2 = (y1 + y2)/2.In other words, the x-coordinate of the midpointis the average of the x-coordinates of the two points,and the y-coordinate of the midpointis the average of the y-coordinates of the two points.
Let B have coordinates (x2, y2) in our problem.Then we have that 6 = (2 + x2)/2 and 8 = (3 + y2)/2.
Solving for the coordinates gives x2 = 10, y2 = 13
Answer:
The square root function
sqrt(144) or √144 produces a single positive value, 12.
However if you have an equation
x² = 144, then you have two possible values for x, 12 and -12.
Two ways to look at it.
x² - 144 = 0
Difference of two squares
(x+12)(x-12) = 0
x = -12, 12
x² = 144
x = ±√144
x = ±12
x = -12, 12
