How to find the orthocenter of an obtuse triangle

Mathematics

Find the equations of 2 segments of the triangle Once you have the equations from step #1, you can locate the slope of the corresponding perpendicular lines.You will use the slopes you have found from step #2, and the corresponding opposite vertex to find the equations of the two lines.Once you have the equation of the two lines from step #3, you can solve the corresponding x and y, which is the coordinates of the orthocenter.

Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (3, 5)
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is -1/3 because you find the the reciprocal and switch the sign. To find the y intercept you plug in the points to the equation.

5 = -1/3(3) + b

5 = -1 + b

6 = b

A right triangle has an area of 50 square inches. If the triangle is an isosceles triangle, what are the lengths of the legs of
Fed [463]
<span>If this is an isosceles triangle, then it has two 45 degree angles corresponding to two legs of equal length.  Orient the base of this triangle so that it's horizontal, and represent its length by b.  Let h represent the height of the triangle.  Then the area of this right triangle is 50 square inches = (1/2)(b)(h), or A = (b/2)h = 50 in^2.   

Due to the 45 degree angles, the height of this triangle is equal to half the base, or h = b/2.  Thus, (b/2)h = 50 becomes (b/2)(b/2) = 50, or b^2=200. Thus, b = 10sqrt(2), and h=(1/2)(10 sqrt(2)), or h = 5sqrt(2).

The length of one of the legs is the sqrt of  [5sqrt(2)]^2+[5sqrt(2)]^2, or

sqrt(25(2)+25(2)) = sqrt(100) = 10.

Triangle ABC has coordinates A (0, 1) B (0, 2) and C (3,2). If Triangle ABC is equivalent to triangle EDF, what is the measure o
Elanso [62]

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment BC corresponds to segment DF. The length of BC is the distance between coordinates (0, 2) and (3, 2). These points are on the same horizontal line (y=2), so the distance between them is the difference of their x-coordinates: 3 - 0 = 3.

Parse the regular hexagon, and tell how much regular unit triangle do you find, if the length of one side of the regular hexagon
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Six.

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry, a hexagon is a two-dimensional polygon that has six sides. A regular hexagon is a hexagon in which all of its sides have equal length. We sometimes define a regular hexagon using equilateral triangles, or triangles in which all of the sides have equal length.

The regular hexagon is a convex polygon with six equal sides and six equal angles. Each external angle of the regular hexagon measures 60 degrees. It is closely related to equilateral triangles: Joining each vertex with its opposite, the regular hexagon is divided into six equilateral triangles.
