Diagram of two triangles

The two triangles are similar because they are both right triangles, meaning that one angle is 90° and the other two are acute (less than 90°).

The diagram on the left is missing its hypotenuse - the variable <em>c</em><em>.</em><em> </em>The hypotenuse is opposite of the right angle. The diagram on the right side is missing one of its legs.

Note: The hypotenuse is the <em>longest</em><em> </em>side of a right triangle.

Word Problen

The legs are 21 blocks and 20 blocks because they are by the right angle. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal path's length, which is the hypotenuse.

{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

Standard form of Pythagorean theorem.

{21}^{2}  +  {20}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}

Equation with the legs substituted and the missing hypotenuse value - <em> </em><em>c</em><em>.</em>

841 =  {c}^{2}

Square the legs and add.

\sqrt{841}  = c

29 = c

Take the square root and simplify. The square root of 841 is 29 and -29, but distance is positive.

Thus the diagonal distance is 29 blocks.

Check by substituting.

Find the slope of the line that contains (6,-4) and (-4,-4)
frez [133]

Answer:y = -4

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the slope by these two points, (6,-4), and (-4,-4), you must use the slope formula:

rise/run, which is this case, is y2-y1 / x2 - x1 <--- this is the slope formula

Let 6 be x2, -4 be x1, y2 be -4, and y1 being -4, plug these numbers in.

-4-(-4) / 6- (-4)

-4 + 4/ 6 +4

0/10 The slope of the line is zero, with a y-axis at -4. We know this because there is a zero in the final result and the y- coordinate between (6,-4) and (-4,-4) do not change in the slightest.

The final answer is then y = -4
